“NATO states are increasingly concerned that Russia could start shooting down US and NATO drones over the Black Sea,” he said.
Western drones, the expert added, will not be able to operate freely in the region in the future.
Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov previously ordered the General Staff to develop proposals for rapid response measures to the increasing frequency of American reconnaissance drone flights over the Black Sea.
The United States, as noted by the Department of Defense, launches unmanned aerial vehicles to conduct reconnaissance and designate targets for Western weapons to attack Russian targets.
Let us remind you that the American RQ-4B Global Hawk drone has been spotted more than once in the sky over the Black Sea. The last time he was there was shortly before the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Sevastopol. According to military officials, it was this drone that targeted the city with ATACMS missiles.
After the incident, the UAV disappeared.
