Russia may have acted aggressively and deliberately in forcing a U.S. surveillance drone to be ditched into the Black Sea, but these moves did not constitute an act of war, will not deter missions and will not lead to U.S. military escorts of future drone flights, top White House national security spokesman John Kirby told CBS News.
"What's not clear in the video is whether the pilot intended to strike the drone or just it was poor flying," Kirby said."I don't think I would call it an act of war. It was unsafe. It was unprofessional. But look, nobody wants to see this war escalate between the United States and Russia to make it become a war between the United States and Russia."
Kirby also dismissed the idea of military escort flights for surveillance drones over the Black Sea or any international air space near Ukraine. Kirby said the drones collect vital intelligence on Russian activities in and near Ukraine, which is then shared with Ukraine's military. "It's not a surprise," Kirby said."Poland has talked about this in the past. It's up to them to decide how and when and what circumstances they'll provide the jets. The additional air capabilities that those MiGs could provide…you can't undercount that. That's going to be helpful to them.""He's not considering F-16s for now," Kirby said, referring to President Biden.
