The State Department commented on Russia's actions in the situation with the US UAV

This was said by the official representative of the US Foreign Ministry Ned Price on msNBC.

He admitted that perhaps the incident with the fall of the drone into the sea occurred unintentionally.

At the same time, Price argues that such situations should no longer occur, since this could lead to a "larger incident."

On March 14, the European Command of the US Armed Forces announced that the Russian Su-27 hit the propeller of the American MQ-9 drone over the Black Sea, after which the drone fell into international waters.

At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Russian fighters did not use on-board weapons and did not come into contact with a US drone over the Black Sea.

The ministry noted that as a result of sharp maneuvering, the drone went into uncontrolled flight with a loss of altitude and collided with the water surface.
