Russian Navy Blockades Downed US Drone
Hal Turner — March 16, 2023
The Russian Navy has located the downed US MQ-9 “Reaper” Drone in the Black Sea, about 50 nautical miles from Sevastopol and has created a blockade around the crash site.
The Russian Navy salvage Vessel Kumma is enroute to the location.
It is reportedly going to attempt to retrieve the drone, which is said to be under about 90 meters of water.
Russia Wants to Recover Debris of US Drone from Black Sea

Russia wants to recover the fragments of a U.S. surveillance drone that American forces brought down in the Black Sea after an encounter with a Russian fighter jet, a Russian security official said Wednesday.
Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, claimed in televised remarks that Tuesday’s incident was “another confirmation” of direct U.S. involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. He said Russia planned to search for the drone’s debris.
“I don’t know if we can recover them or not, but we will certainly have to do that, and we will deal with it,” Patrushev said. “I certainly hope for success.”
U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the drone was flying in international airspace and over international waters when a Russian fighter jet struck the propeller of the MQ-Reaper drone.
U.S. officials accused Russia of attempting to intercept the unmanned aerial vehicle, although its presence over the Black Sea was not an uncommon occurrence.
“It is also not uncommon for the Russians to try to intercept them,” Kirby said, adding that such an encounter “does increase the risk of miscalculations, misunderstandings.”
Kirby said the drone had not yet been recovered and it was unclear whether it would be, but the U.S. “took steps to protect the information and to protect, to minimize any effort by anybody else to exploit that drone for useful content.”
“It is also not uncommon for the Russians to try to intercept them,” Kirby said, adding that such an encounter “does increase the risk of miscalculations, misunderstandings.”
Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, said Russia has the technological capability to recover the drone’s fragments from deep in the Black Sea.
Earlier Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov repeated the Russian Defense Ministry’s statement that Russian jets didn’t use their weapons or impact the U.S. drone.
Peskov described U.S.-Russia relations as being at their lowest point but added that “Russia has never rejected a constructive dialogue, and it’s not rejecting it now.”
At the Pentagon, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the intercept by the Russian jet was part of a “pattern of aggressive, risky and unsafe actions by Russian pilots in international airspace.” He said Russia must operate its aircraft in a safe manner.
“Make no mistake, the United States will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows,” Austin said in opening remarks before a virtual meeting of a U.S.-led effort to coordinate Western military support for Ukraine.
Kirby keeps saying this type of activity is not uncommon. No, but it should be. He should be reminded what else is uncommon. Russian or Chinese or Iranian drones spying on American military manoeuvres just off the American coast. They never do it and that’s how uncommon this US drone activity should be.
America will start the war that kills a billion.
That was a neat trick of starving the drone of oxygen by saturating the air it needs with fuel. And down she went ready to be retrieved for reverse engineering and be studied for further chinks.
It reminds me of how the Somali rebels took down a Black Hawk with slingshots.
They should charter the Hughes Glomar Explorer off the Yanks, if its still in commission?
Did the Chinese actually s rap her or rename it Evergreen Explorer?
Just to correct the author – it is believed to be under around 900 meters of water – not just 90m! That would be ridiculously easy for the Russians to take it up.
However, I suspect not even 900m of depth will not mean too big an issue for them..
thats good ! now the russians can
dismantle + study it + learn + their
partners Iran .
yankee doodle its your last tune !

I wouldn’t trust **any** footage put out by Fake News and created by the Pentagon.
Does anyone realize how easy it is to CGI such fake footage? I can’t believe this Hal Turner doofus is falling for the brazen lies released by the Pentagon. You know, that institution that is the paragon and embodiment of Truth … LOL!
“Peskov described U.S.-Russia relations as being at their lowest point but added that “Russia has never rejected a constructive dialogue, and it’s not rejecting it now.”
Above all else, the fraud must continue and right on cue, Elon Musk is right there with his own brand of deception. When you read reports like this, it’s important to remember that U.S./Russia *cooperation* in Space continues all during *this war*. Down here on earth they may fake war and fake being at each other’s throats but up above in space they get along like tapeworms in the bowels of Lucifer. They fake being at war, they fake being in space. A word to the wise, there is no International Space Station, they have no satellites and to preempt anyone puking up the CIA flat-earth psyop: THE EARTH IS ROUND. Elon Musk is an actor, little that is said about him is true.
Here is just a sample of the latest NASA/Space X theater:
“NPR Updated February 24, 2023 Russia’s space agency launched a mission early Friday to provide a ride for two cosmonauts and one U.S. astronaut who are on the International Space Station without a designated ship to get home. The spacecraft that brought the three crew members to the ISS in the fall later experienced a leak in its radiator cooling loop, and officials from both countries had to develop a plan to get the trio back to Earth.”

“MSN News Mar 17, 2023 Space X Crew-5 astronauts leave the space station after five months in space:
SpaceX’s Crew-5 astronaut mission for NASA departed the International Space Station on Saturday (March 11) at 2:20 a.m. EST (0720 GMT) after more than five months in space. A Space X Dragon capsule carrying the Crew-5 quartet — NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Nicole Mann, Russian cosmonaut Anna Kikina and Japan’s Koichi Wakata — undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) at 2:20 a.m. EST (0720 GMT) on Saturday. “It’s been overwhelming to be at the International Space Station,” NASA astronaut Josh Cassada said after the capsule backed away from the orbital outpost. “The crew are incredibly proud of the work we’ve accomplished while we were there. We are excited to get back to that beautiful planet of ours and those wonderful people there.””

Peskov had a grandfather, who was Jewish and took orders from Stalin and the Bolsheviks. They are still in control of Russia, thieving and lying to the goyim.
YeeHah, Banker WW III hot & incoming! LOOKOUT!
How Tom Clancy
When you fly into a ADIZ with transponder turned off you are hostile. Russia had set up this ADIZ to control the airspace. The drones operator ignored all radio comms. If the same happened over the Gulf of Mexico with a Russian drone flying with transponder off the US would have shot it down… and rightly so. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Don’t let the idiot neocons con you!
The jet dumping fuel over the drone was trying to enrich the fuel mixture causing the engine to die. I doubt the jet rammed the drone or put a wing into the propeller as the damage to the jet would have likely caused it to crash.
This is probably a replay of the drone crash in Iran a few years back….the drone was reconstructed by the Iranians and lo and behold Iran is producing homemade versions.
So this drone in the black sea will soon be in a container on its way to CHYNA to use a Trumpism….
Maybe…..take a look at a photograph of the USSR “Buran”….externally almost identical to the Space Shuttle….phew thats a surprise?!.
