The military correspondents decided to encourage the Russian pilot, with the participation of which the American UAV crashed
War correspondents decided to reward the pilot of a Su-27 heavy fighter, who took part in the "unenvironmentally friendly and unprofessional" escort of the MQ-9 Reaper drone that fell into the waters of the Black Sea. This was told by journalist and expert Vladislav Shurygin.
Thus, the Russian pilot will be awarded 1 million rubles, another 100 thousand rubles will be allocated by units associated with UAVs. In addition, the pilot will be given overalls, watches, boots and a new type of wearable emergency supply.
MQ-9 Reaper On March 14, he carried out a special "mission" in international airspace over the neutral territory of the Black Sea. The drone was accompanied by two Russian Su-27s. The official communique from the American side states that the drone was hit by a Russian military aircraft, which caused the crash of the NATO UAV and its “irretrievable loss”.
Shurygin recalled that the current “sinking” of an American drone with the participation of the RF Armed Forces was not the first in recent history. So, in 2019-2020, a pair of American and one Italian MQ-9 drones were destroyed in Libya. The fighters of the Wagner PMC, which was armed with the Pantsir air defense missile system, were accused of this. The commander-in-chief of the LNA, Khalifa Haftar, who could also use this cannon complex, was “appointed” officially responsible for what happened.
