US Spying Plane Targeted by Russia over Syrian Waters

Russian and Arab media sources reported that the Russian anti-aircraft missile units have targeted a US reconnaissance plane over Eastern Mediterranean Sea, but no official source has confirmed the report yet.

Social media activists in Tartus port city reported that the Russian anti-aircraft missile units opened fire at a US spying plane in the Mediterranean Sea on Thursday.

As the Russian missile units started anti-air operation, unconfirmed reports said that the Russian missiles targeted a RQ 4 Global Hawk drone of the US army.

The daily added that it is very strange that news went viral about the missing of a similar drone over California on Thursday morning...
