WASHINGTON - A Russian Su-27 fighter jet struck the propeller of a U.S. military ''Reaper'' surveillance drone on Tuesday, causing it to crash into the Black Sea in an incident condemned as ''reckless'' by the U.S. military.
''Our MQ-9 aircraft conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9'', U.S. Air Force General James Hecker, who overseas the U.S. Air Force in the region, said in a statement.
