[Regnum] The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that Russian fighter jets in Syria allegedly performed unsafe maneuvers in relation to American drones. This was reported on July 6 by the American television channel CBS.
According to the channel, the MQ-9 Reaper drones were carrying out operations against the terrorist group "Islamic State" (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), and at this time three Russian fighters allegedly approached them.
The commander of SENTCOM, Lieutenant General Alexus Grinkevich ,

believes that the planes allegedly violated certain norms and protocols by firing parachute flares in front of the UAV. He also claimed that one of the Russian pilots allegedly placed the fighter in front of the drone and turned on the afterburner, making it difficult for the UAV operator to control the device.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation repeatedly emphasized that Russian pilots fly exclusively in accordance with international flight safety rules.

Moreover, on July 1, Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria (CPVS) , said that in June, drones of the international coalition led by the United States in Syria violated the Memorandum on Flight Safety 315 times in June. According to him, these violations are purposeful and systematic. He stressed that compared to 2022, their number has increased significantly.
