Russia’s ambassador to the United States slammed Republican Senator Lindsey Graham for suggesting that the United States shoot down any Russian planes if they “ever get near another US asset flying in international waters”.
Mr Graham made the remarks after two Russian Sukhoi Su-27 aircraft performed what US Air Force General called a “reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional” set of manoeuvres,” which dumped fuel and damaged the propeller of an MQ-9 drone.
