The US military said the crash caused damage to their drone, meaning the Russian jet had to be brought down into water near Ukraine.

The US military has released dramatic footage of a Russian jet crashing into one of its drones over the Black Sea, after the Kremlin’s denial that its SU-27 clipped the propeller of the drone, the BBC reported.

The crash, which had caused damage to the large drone, meant it had to be brought down into the water near Ukraine on Tuesday (March 14). The 42-second video appears to back up the American version of events.
