Looks like the Russian Navy is on site. US no where to be found. I understand we have no ships in the Black Sea. I guess only hope is it is too deep to recover. Not sure but it might be a good idea to put a self destruct charge on them in case they fall in enemy territory.

Russian ships at US drone crash site in Black Sea, US official says: 'They wasted no time'

Russian vessels have already reached the crash site of the U.S. MQ-9 drone that was forced into the Black Sea after being clipped by a Russian Su-27 fighter jet.

Allegedly, the vehicle was "wiped." What that exactly means is unknown on this end. Electronically "cleaned" I would suppose.

A couple of F-15s would put an end to that.

We used thermite grenades to "sterilize" any sensitive equipment left behind from a crashed helicopter. (They are very effective!) I'm sure they probably have something similar, remotely controlled for the drones.

Who cares? We shouldn’t be there screwing around anyway.

 

[Wild Onion]

Nope. Drone is wiped clean and at the bottom of the Black Sea. I don't think even the Russians are going to go for it.

Must be photoshopped. The Russians said they were no where near there.

We have a history of leaving things around for our adversaries

So the drone went down about 75 miles from Crimea in the Black Sea. Maybe, what, 100 miles from recognized Russian territory?

What would we say if we downed a Russian spy drone 100 miles off the coast of Massachusetts?

There's a war going on over there. What do you expect?

Hopefully cooler heads prevail. It would be idiotic to escalate over a downed drone. But we have a lot of idiots that want a shooting war with Russia.

Tit for tat? Russians behind those small surveillance balloons?

 

[NavCop]

Russians are poking the bear - just like China did last month. Both have discovered what they expected, weakness.

This right here is probably the best response on the entire internet.

Seems to me it's us poking the bear.

Probably some underwater munitions work took care of the drone.

Where the USA should get aggressive with Russia is the incidents involving manned flights in international airspace far from disputed borders. Splash a few of the Russian planes and they will holler but they will also stop.

International airspace, international waters, that'd be an international incident, a violation of international law. It wouldn't be pretty...

a precedent has already been set.......we did nothing more than use harsh.....strike that......mild language to the chinese for their spy balloon.....and the chinese responded in kind.....mild language....

Brandon and co. screw up everything they touch, this is blatant as heck and in Putin’s face. We are in war with Russis, no other way to look at this - and it’s all for money in the politicians pockets - lots of folks getting billions off this war.
