A Russian fighter jet fired flares at an American MQ-9 Reaper drone whilst it was flying over on Sunday, the US military has confirmed. The incident, which damaged the drone's propeller, has been denounced as the latest in a series of risky and provocative acts from the Russian military, the US said. The drone was on a counter-terrorism mission against the group when one of the flares hit the drone, 'severely damaging its propeller,' Air Forces Central Commander Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich said.
