McCaul calls Russia's intercept of drone a 'blatant intimidation tactic,' says US 'must not be deterred'
Fox News correspondent Mike Tobin has the latest on tensions amid the Russia-Ukraine war on'Special Report.' EXCLUSIVE: House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul called Russia's interception of a U.S. drone a "blatant intimidation tactic," and stressed the need for the United States to continue its support for Ukraine and security efforts in the region. A Russian Su-27 fighter plane collided with a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone, which was conducting "routine operations" over the Black Sea on Tuesday. The jet in question was one of two Su-27's flying in tandem when the collision occurred in international airspace over international waters. "To be clear, the Black Sea is not a Russian lake. The U.S. surveillance drone intercepted by a Russian aircraft was operating in international airspace," McCaul told Fox News Digital.
