France's Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu shared to X on Tuesday, March 4 that ‘a Russian SU-35 fighter jet behaved dangerously towards a French Reaper drone, on a surveillance mission in international airspace over the Eastern Mediterranean.’
The Russian jet made three successive passes in close proximity, which "could have caused the drone to lose control…’ Lecornu wrote on X, adding this was an "intentional, unprofessional and aggressive action that is not acceptable".
However, the Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly stated that all flights of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) are carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace.
