Russian Fighters over Syria 'intercepted' an American MQ-9 Reaper as it was conducting anti-ISIS operations and apparently managed to damage the American drones propeller after launching or deploying flares at the drone. The MQ-9 was able to return to base however.
“On 23 July, 2023 at 12:23 a.m. (EST), Russian fighter aircraft flew dangerously close to a U.S. MQ-9 drone on a defeat-ISIS mission, harassing the MQ-9 and deploying flares from a position directly

That website forgets to mention that anti-ISIS operation is ludicrous considering the control they have is barely over 1% of Syria
since 2020. It is a tad bit funny that the USAAF complains about unprofessional behavior from the Russians when the Obunga government facilated Salafists and Wahabis which turned their back of the Syrian Opposition and joined ISIS or the Turcophile-backed government in the North.
Also, if it is a drone, the safety is a non-issue.
Also, isn't this the same USAAF who just went woke and wants more non-Caucasian pilots, regardless if they are competent or not ?
Part of the same armed forces that were subjected to humiliation from their superiors in J6 and were obligated to inject themselves with the coof poison from Pfizer?
