The Pentagon has released footage that appears to show a Russian aircraft intercepting a US Air Force drone in international airspace over the Black Sea. Sub...
Showing that Russia is again full of it in their public announcements and also the extremely poor quality of their pilots.
Chest puffing or defending their national territory? Why is the US military even active thousands of kilometers from their own territory? On the other hand the United States goes completely hysterical over some weather balloons, imagine that Russia also sent drones like this.
It’s international waters, not Russian national territory. The US can be there if it wants. But if a balloon flies over US air space, the US does have the right to shoot it down, especially if it is deemed a threat.
Er… pretty sure there’s a difference between being in the same space and literally being in same space. Or are we good with the US targeting Russian aircraft now?

Just like a Russian jet can be in that same space if it wants.

I dunno, is US good starting WW3 because it needs to keep provoking Russia?
