Russia's defence ministry said in a statement 'two air targets flying in the direction of the state border of the Russian Federation' were detected by radar, and were classified as 'two US Air Force B-52 strategic bombers'. The US has not yet responded to the claim.
The National Defense Center of the Russian Federation said:"The flight of the Russian fighter was carried out in strict accordance with the international rules for the use of airspace.The US has not yet responded to the claim.The US Air Force released a video it said showed a Russian jet intercepting the drone and dumping fuel on it over the Black Sea.
The incident highlighted the increasing risk of direct confrontation between the superpowers as fighting continues in nearby Ukraine. American officials accused the Russian pilots of flying in a"reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner". Moscow denied the jets behaved dangerously and said they didn't come into contact with the drone, claiming it crashed due to"sharp manoeuvring".
