National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that the incident was 'noteworthy' because it resulted in the downing of a U.S. unmanned aerial system.
The White House slammed the actions of two Russian fighter jet pilots who forced an unmanned U.S. spy drone into the water after a collision over the Black Sea.
And while Kirby said he was not yet aware of exactly what the intentions of the Russian pilots were, he said,"If the message is that they want to deter or dissuade us from flying and operating in international airspace over the Black Sea, then that message will fail, because that is not going to happen."
"Our MQ-9 aircraft was 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," General James B. Hecker, commander of U.S. Air Forces Europe and Air Forces Africa, said in the statement, which EUCOM shared with."In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash.
