FOX News: EXCLUSIVE: Russian jets intercept US predator drones over Syria, officials say

Russian fighter jets have intercepted U.S. predator drones on at least three separate occasions high above Syria since the start of Russia’s air campaign last week, according to two U.S. officials briefed on this latest intelligence from the region.

The Russians have not attempted to shoot down any of the U.S. drones, but instead have flown intercept tracks, a doctrinal term meaning the Russians flew close enough to make their presence felt, according to one official.

“The first time it happened, we thought the Russians got lucky. Then it happened two more times,” said one official.

WNU Editor: I think this is Russia's way of telling the U.S. that if these drones approach Russian air bases .... they will be shot down. And if that happens .... here is an easy prediction .... the situation in the skies over Syria are going to change dramatically.
