On Tuesday saw a rise in hostilities between the US and Russia when an American drone was allegedly struck by a Russian Su-27 fighter plane. Since then, there has been a lot of back and forth over the event. Russia argues that it kept its distance while the US presented convincing evidence to support their accusations.

A jet released fuel in a dramatic episode, which was followed by the appearance of another mysterious plane. Whether this aircraft played a part in the initial collision is still up for debate. The drone’s propeller sustained significant damage in the collision with the enigmatic jet. Although the aftermath was shown on camera, the collision itself was not shown. In the end, the US military decided strategically to let the drone sink to the bottom of the Black Sea.
A US drone was shot down, but Russia fiercely claims that their plane was responsible, claiming the drone fell accidentally. When the Russian Defense Ministry accuses the US of disobeying flying limits amid the Ukraine crisis, tensions rise even though the Biden Administration is dubious whether the event was deliberate. American authorities insist that the drone was flying within international airspace.
Russian ships sped up to the strange drone crash site in a dangerous race against time, eager to plunder the wreckage for valuable intelligence. But, according to Gen. Mark Milley, who was quoted by Fox News, the mysterious unmanned aerial explorer is most likely sleeping in amazement at a depth of 4,000 to 5,000 feet beneath the surface of the Black Sea.
The military has taken action to “protect [America’s] equities,” according to John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council. They don’t want anyone “getting their hands on it beyond,” he claimed, referring to the US government.
