“At an altitude of 5,000 meters near the town of Nafla in Raqqa province, a dangerous approach of a ‘coalition’ MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle with an Aerospace Forces Su-34 aircraft was once again recorded. Russian,” said Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov, deputy head of the center.
He stressed that again the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle of the “coalition” in the area was not disconnected.
It was possible to avoid a collision only thanks to the professionalism of the Russian pilots, Gurinov noted.
A similar incident occurred a few days ago: the F-16 fighters of the US-led international coalition affected the guidance systems against the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria. It should be noted that the Russian plane at that time was making a regular flight along the southern border of the Syrian Arab Republic.
