An American drone reconnaissance over the Black Sea was allegedly intercepted and rejected by Moscow .

This was stated by the Ministry of Defense of Moscow, as reported by the Russian agency Interfax. The Kremlin launched a Su-30 fighter as soon as an "air target approaching the state border" was "detected".

«The crew of the Sukhoi Su-30 jet – continues the note – identified the aerial target as a US Air Force MQ-9A 'Reaper' reconnaissance drone. As the fighter approached, the foreign aircraft performed a U-turn.'

The ministry then let it be known that the Russian plane returned safely and that, after due checks, there was no violation of the borders.
