Alexander Melcuris, a well-known British strategy expert, explained the delicate situation over the Black Sea in a YouTube column. He pointed out that when Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov issued a clear order to the General Staff to warn the frequent appearance of US drones by Western countries in the Black Sea, NATO countries seemed to feel the bitter north wind and were afraid of possible Russian actions.
Numerous military experts astutely note that Russia will defend the Black Sea sky and dare to challenge any American and NATO drone that dares to violate its airspace. This warning makes the future free flight of Western drones in this sea area precarious, and they may face the risk of being shot down by the Russian army at any time.
Melcuris bluntly said that as tensions between the two sides rise, the risk of confrontation between Western and Russian aircraft over the Black Sea is gradually rising, and this war without gunpowder has made the situation more dangerous. And in this air game, Russia clearly occupies the commanding heights and will launch a fatal blow against Western drones.
Earlier, Defense Minister Andrei Belousov had decisively ordered the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces to be ready and quickly respond to the provocations of the activities of American drones in the Black Sea. In the face of this firm stance, Pentagon Deputy Spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said that the United States will not easily give up its air flight rights in this sea area. This international military contest seems to be gradually moving towards a climax.
