BREAKING: U.S military releases newly declassified video showing a Russian fighter jet harassing and colliding with an American drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday.
The footage, released Thursday morning by U.S. European Command and filmed from the drone's on-board camera, shows a Russian Su-27 jet conducting what the U.S. calls an"unsafe/unprofessional intercept of a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 in international airspace."
While the 43-second video has been edited for length and not verified by NBC News, the U.S. military said it shows the events in sequential order. The officials said Wednesday that judging from the video, the Russian jet clipping the propeller of the drone — which the U.S. says occurred and Russia denies — was likely not intentional and likely the result of pilot error.
