Pentagon releases de-classified video of Black Sea drone incident

The video showed Russia intercepting a US military surveillance drone downed over the Black Sea two days ago.

It was the first direct U.S.-Russian incident since the Ukraine war began, worsening already tense relations between Washington and Moscow.

It also shows the loss of the video feed after another close Russian maneuver, which the Pentagon says resulted from the Russian jet's collision with the drone. It ends with images of the drone's damaged propeller, which the Pentagon says resulted from the collision, making the aircraft inoperable. Russia has denied U.S. accusations that its jets acted recklessly in the incident on Tuesday over the Black Sea, and instead has blamed"sharp maneuvering" by the drone for the crash, claiming its jet did not make contact.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russian ships had been seen near the area where the drone had crashed, though they did not appear to have recovered any parts of the drone yet. It was not clear if they were still in the area.
