Two Russian Su-27 fighter jets and one MQ-9 Reaper drone were involved in an incident over the Black sea. One of the Russian planes hit the MQ-9’s propeller, according to a press release by EUCOM. This forced the remotely piloted aircraft to come down. It is as yet unclear how exactly the midair occurred or whether it was intentional.
