Russia, fighters graze American drones: high voltage in the skies


Russian fighter jets have come dangerously close to several US unmanned aircraft in the skies above Syria. It is the American military authorities who have denounced a crescendo of dangerous and unprofessional actions by the Moscow army. The U.S. Air Forces Central released a video showing a Russian SU-35 fighter approaching a Reaper drone and then several parachuted rockets moving in the drone's flight path. Lieutenant General Alex Grynkewich, commander of the 9th Air Force in West Asia, said three US drones were operating over Syria after 10:30 local time, on a mission against ISIS militiamen, when three Russian planes began carrying out disruptive maneuvers against US aircraft.
