Satellite images capture activity by Black Sea Fleet ships in the area of the suspected crash of the US MQ-9 Reaper drone. According to preliminary data, the wreckage of the Reaper was found at the bottom of the Black Sea at a depth of about 900 meters, 60 km southwest of Sevastopol.
The wreckage of the fallen drone is of great interest to Russia and the United States. So the Pentagon took a chance and sent another Reaper into the drop zone of the previous one. This was reported by CNN. According to the American television channel, the tasks of the second drone include surveillance of the Russian army in the area of the alleged crash.
After the crash of the MQ-9 Reaper in the United States, they announced their desire to recover the wreckage of the drone, however, judging by the concentration of Russian warships, they will no longer be able to do this. But Washington is not going to stop flying its reconnaissance drones just yet. Since the loss of the Reaper last Tuesday, American drones have approached Russian borders in the Crimea region at least seven times.
Recall that the American MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance drone crashed after contact with Russian Su-27 fighters near the borders of Russian airspace on March 14. The first information about the start of the operation to collect the wreckage of the “Reaper” by the Russian military appeared yesterday, after the special vessel “Physicist” was noticed in the area of the alleged wreckage site of the drone .
