And the wreckage of the MQ-9 Reaper in the hands of the Russians.

 

Wednesday, March 15, 2023. The downing was done in coordination with the Russian navy as to the time and place of the downing to lift from the sea as many of the wreckage parts that survived the fall as possible.

Russia has already sent many Western weapons for reverse engineering to Iran.

Russia also has its UAVs with its names and capabilities.

Romanian search-and-rescue helicopters that attempted, under the "umbrella" of NATO, to approach the area where the American MQ-9 Reaper drone crashed after Russian Su-27 jet fighters intercepted it was also blocked by Russian jet fighters that did not allow to come to the maritime site of the drone crash.

The interception took place about 100 km from Crimea, and while in the area, an Italian AWACS G-550 and an American anti-submarine P-8A Poseidon were flying to monitor the situation.

Romanian MiG-21 Lancer Jet fighters (modernized by Israel with modern radar) took off and patrolled the area.

American, French, and British fighter jets stationed in Romania are ready to take off, while Russian bases in Crimea are also on standby.

Also, the S-400 air defense arrays in Crimea are on full alert, while the personnel's licenses have also been revoked. 

The S-400s cover the whole of Crimea and the Black Sea up to the coast of Romania. 

Any Romanian or general NATO Western Defense coalition fighter taking off from Romanian airfields is automatically within their range!

According to Russian sources, ships of the Black Sea Fleet and Ka-27 helicopters began an operation to recover the American drone immediately after it fell.

The Russian television announcer comments on the fall of the American UAV and says with absolute sincerity that... it fell into the water 😂 https://t.co/ZcawxQQvdd pic.twitter.com/VadvCnexyl

The same sources state that "the Reaper came very close to Crimea. It was 60 km SW of Sevastopol before it crashed, which allowed our units to collect the debris quickly."

The Black Sea - besides being black-  is also dangerous.

 Boeing P-8 Poseidon 

The Boeing P-8 Poseidon is an American maritime patrol, and reconnaissance aircraft developed and produced by Boeing Defense, Space & Security and derived from the civilian Boeing 737-800.
