American RQ-4 with missiles spotted over the positions of the Russian and Syrian military

An American drone unmanned aerial vehicle, armed with two air-to-surface missiles, flew today over the Syrian province of Idlib, directly above the positions of Russian and Syrian troops. Contrary to the fact that this territory is under the control of the Russian military, the drone was never opened fire, which raises a lot of doubts about how effectively Russian and Syrian air defense are able to protect the airspace of Syria.
