Russian fighter jet COLLIDES with US drone as Kremlin accused of 'brazen' breach of law

A Russian fighter jet collided with a US Reaper drone over the Black Sea near Ukraine - with the Kremlin accused of a "brazen" breach of international law.

The jet struck the propeller of a US surveillance drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday causing American forces to bring down the unmanned aerial vehicle, the US military confirmed.

The MQ9 Reaper drone was hoovering up information on Moscow’s forces in the east of Ukraine and off the coast when the Russian pilots are said to have dumped fuel on it in mid-air.
