Russian fighter jet damages US MQ-9 Reaper drone with flare over Syria, says US | Oneindia News

The US military said that a Russian fighter jet flew within a few meters of a US drone over Syria and fired flares at it.

The military said that it struck the American aircraft and damaged it.

A senior Air Force commander said that the move on Sunday was an attempt by the Russians to knock the MQ-9 Reaper drone out of the sky.

This happened just a week after a Russian fighter jet flew dangerously close to a US surveillance aircraft carrying a crew in the region, jeopardizing the lives of the four Americans on board.

The head of US Air Forces Central, Lt Gen Alex Grynkewich stated that one of the Russian flares struck the US MQ-9, severely damaging its propeller.

US Military Launches Airstrikes on ‘Iran-Aligned Sites’ in Syria, Day After Attack on Command Center [Video]

US Military Launches Airstrikes on ‘Iran-Aligned Sites’ in Syria, Day After Attack on Command Center

The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region. The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria. Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region. The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces. The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region. Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants. The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east. #USMilitary #IranAlignedGroups #SyriaAirstrikes #MiddleEastTensions #USStrikes #Centcom #IranBackedMilitias #SyriaConflict #USForces #IranSyria #MilitaryRetaliation #USIranTensions #CommandCenterAttack #IranProxyWar #SyriaSecurity
