Russia tries to raise MQ-9 Reaper from the bottom with the help of an underwater robot
Last Tuesday, an American drone was attacked over the Black Sea. First, Russian aircraft dropped fuel on it. The MQ-9 Reaper continued to fly. After that, one of the Russian fighter jets damaged the drone’s propeller. As a result, it crashed.
The Air Force Command published a map on Twitter. It shows the coordinates of the attack and the sinking of the drone. The drone fell into the sea 112 kilometers from Crimea. Nevertheless, journalists of the propaganda outlet ForPost, citing the Russian Defense Ministry, reported that the drone was allegedly found near Sevastopol.

The administration of the channel “Friends of Major Selivanov” published a photo of the Volkhov ship on Telegram. The propagandists claim that it is carrying a modern underwater robot capable of raising an American drone from the bottom. Terrorist Igor Girkin reposted this publication.
A Pentagon spokesman told CNN that the Russians could only find small parts of the UAV or fiberglass. The US made sure that the drone did not fall into the wrong hands.
