US Drone "Intercepted" Over Crimea By Russian 'Self-Defense' Forces (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-14/us-drone-intercepted-over-crimea-russian-self-defense-forces)Submitted by Tyler Durden (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden) on 03/14/2014 - 15:20 http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2014/03/20140314_drone_0.pngAn American scout-attack drone, "almost invisible at a height of 4000 meters" has, according to AFP (http://news.yahoo.com/russia-says-intercepted-us-drone-over-crimea-arms-180430584.html;_ylt=At_B0i8Ttqvgrn8ZH8ESDpzQtDMD;_ ylu=X3oDMTBsdmNodWplBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMzBHNlYwNzcg--), been intercepted in the Crimean sky. Reports from the Russian state arms and technology group Rostec stated, judging by side-markings it was an MQ-5B drone - which is likely part of the 66th US Recon Brigade based in Bavaria. It was possible to break the drone’s link with its American operators with the help of the EW (electronic warfare) complex Avtobaza. As a result, the device made an emergency landing and passed into the possession of the self-defense forces almost unbroken." It is perhaps ironic that the US is complaining abouit Russia's military presence in Ukraine even as its own equipment is reportedly operating in the country.
