[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3991098, member: 44288"] Russian Navy beat U.S. to Reaper salvage site. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11862029/amp/Russia-claims-won-race-recover-downed-Reaper-drone-Black-Sea.html[/URL] Moscow said it would work to retrieve the wreckage of the $32million drone in what would be a propaganda coup for Vladimir Putin, after earlier warning that it will 'consider any action with US weaponry as openly hostile'. 'I don't know whether we'll be able to retrieve it or not but it has to be done. And we will certainly work on it,' Russian Security Council secretary Nikolai Patrushev said in televised remarks on Wednesday. Earlier, White House national security spokesman John Kirby confirmed the US was reviewing 'imagery' collected from the region, close to the frontlines of Putin's on-going war in Ukraine which Russia invaded in February 2022. He also said the UAV may never be recovered from the crash site, admitting that the Reaper wreckage is still in the Black Sea, adding that US officials have told Moscow to be more careful when flying in international air space around American assets. Just another reason there should have been a pilot in that plane. The Russian's got a free shot because it was unmanned. [/QUOTE]
