CNN: Russian fighter jet damages US military drone over Syria
A Russian fighter jet flew “dangerously close” to a US drone over Syria and damaged it with flares, according to the US Air Force, in the latest in a series of incidents between the two militaries in the Middle East.
On Sunday, Russian jets closed to within a few meters of a US MQ-9 Reaper drone that was taking part in an anti-ISIS mission over Syria.
One of the jets began dropping flares in front of the US drone, severely damaging its propellor, the Air Force said. The drone’s crew was able to control the aircraft and fly it back to its home base.
“The Russian fighter’s blatant disregard for flight safety detracts from our mission to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS,” said the commander of Air Force Central Command, Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich.

This is not the first time Russia has interfered with a US drone. I think this is the fourth time in the past month where a drone incident between Russia and the US over Syria has occurred.

There is no anti ISIS mission. It was that.
Then it was defending the Kurds. Now back to anti Ghost isis. it's crap.
The world can see this "operation". is about stealing Syrian oil and wheat. Simple as that.
It should be know a "operation enduring larceny". or "Operation Ugly Empire"
That would be much more fitting.
But put 2+2 together. The US has been moving a lot of men and aircraft to the Mid east in the last 3 months. all under the umbrella of"Iranian belligerence".
Maybe.... Maybe not.
But there is a strain of thought that this is really to prepare for and assault. on Russian forces in Syria.
The nuances in this game get more interesting all the time.
We sent a strongly-worded letter? Thank God!
We can't look impotent
So Russkies believe US is planning to attack Russian assets in Syria? And what better way to ensure that than to PROVOKE it
The US is getting kicked out of the Middle East. BRICS nations and new currency are going to dominate, and now talk of Hungary leaving the EU. The US is about to get its ass kicked in Syria and embarrassed on the international stage. Irreparable damage is about to commence
What are the options? It’s an illegal occupation of sovereign territory. The American hypocrite, child trafficking, two faced hypocrites are going to get what’s coming to them. Facking losers
3:16, good comment.
3:53 The only ones who will "get what's coming to them" is our military folks over there. I have a relative who flies a F16 out of Saudia Arabia doing operations in Syria. These are the people who are gonna get it. Not sure it is what they deserve. The elit/blob/MIC won't miss a moments of sleep and their bank accounts will grow.
us to get the fuck out of Syria now. Why the fuck are we still there?
Yes your right. Our government is deplorable
You just described Russia /ukraine
Faz, not even close. Syria had no prior deals with the "US" that they broke. What they did have was a pipeline that the Russians was building.
