Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced this Friday that he will honor the pilots of the Su-27 fighter jet that shot down a US drone flying over the Black Sea.
According to Sergei Shoigu, the two pilots “prevented the US MQ-9 unmanned flying device from violating the limits of the zone of restricted use of airspace established to carry out the special military operation in Ukraine”.
