The American UAV Shoot Down by Russia aviation
«By the newspaper’s own admission it is, in the first case, one of the most informed Russian telegram channels on what is happening in Russian airspace and aviation. The article quotes what the channel reports as follows: “A Russian MiG-31 fighter shot down a US Air Force reconnaissance drone over the Black Sea. Presumably it is a high-altitude RQ-4B Global Hawk reconnaissance drone.” Shortly after, the channel publishes an update: “Yes, the incident has now been confirmed.”
This is what the Italian website Contropiano wrote a few hours ago, confirming the validity of the alarm launched a week ago by Gospa News on the use of the Naval Air Base (NAS) of Sigonella (Sicily) where not only is there an Air Force command but also the most important station of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) the American counter-espionage.
