In the skies over Syria, the American MQ-9 Reaper drone was again cracked down on.

After it became known about a dangerous incident in the skies over Syria, when an American MQ-9 Reaper drone, according to the Russian side, dangerously approached Russian fighters, tried to irradiate the aircraft with its systems and was hit in the propeller by a false thermal target automatically fired by the aircraft , there was a new case with a drone of this model.

A former Russian military pilot known as "Fighterbomber" (Ilya Tumanov) reported a new case involving the American "Reaper".

“It is reported from the field that another (or the same MQ-9 Reaper, with a repaired blade) in a completely outrageous and shameless way again, unprofessionally and unsafely climbed under a peacefully flying aircraft, while shooting of unknown origin for safety and prevention of PPI (cartridge interference infrared - ed.) and after "There is a penetration!", puffing up, disappeared somewhere. Flew, probably"- reports Tumanov.

At the moment, there are no official statements on this subject either from Washington or from Moscow, however, the source notes that the drone could not reach the military base, having received damage in the process of being hit by PPI.
