US Navy ships want to enter the Black Sea
Turkey is discussing the possibility of entering the Black Sea by ships of the US Navy. American ships are supposed to pick up the wreckage of the drone that fell into the sea.
It will be recalled that on March 14, a russian Su-27 fighter jet damaged an American reconnaissance and attack UAV MQ-9 Reaper over the Black Sea during an interception. As a result of the accident, the drone had to be submerged.
Now, so that the intelligence does not reach the russians, the United States must find the location and take away the wreckage of the UAV. In turn, russian federation also announced its intention to retrieve the wreckage of the American UAV.
Currently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of Turkey are developing a plan to allow US Navy ships into the Black Sea. The next steps will be clarified in the near future, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar reports.
“We are carefully monitoring the issue. Various contacts take place, including between structures in Turkey itself. We strive to find a reasonable and logical solution with our partners from the USA. We advocate a peaceful way out of the situation,” Akar said.
