Egy amerikai F–16-os vadászgép lelőtt egy török drónt egy északkelet-szíriai bázis közelében, ahol amerikai csapatok állomásoznak – számolt be a Pentagon képviselője, közölte a Jevropejszka Pravda a Politicóra hivatkozva.
Helyi idő szerint reggel fél 7-kor az amerikai hadsereg pilóta nélküli repülő eszközöket észlelt az északkelet-szíriai Hasakah közelében, többek között alig egy kilométerre az amerikai csapatoktól – közölte Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon szóvivője.
Elmondása szerint a csapásokat az Egyesült Államok által kinyilvánított hadműveleti korlátozási övezetben hajtották végre, a katonák az óvóhelyekre vonultak.
11:30-kor a török drón ismét behatolt a korlátozott területre, és az Egyesült Államok katonai állomáshelye felé tartott – mondta Ryder.
Az amerikai parancsnokság úgy értékelte, hogy a drón, amely kevesebb, mint fél kilométerre volt az amerikai csapatoktól, potenciális veszélyt jelenthet – mondta Ryder. Az amerikai F–16-os vadászgépek körülbelül 11 óra 40 perckor lőtték le a drónt.
Ryder elmondás szerint mielőtt a drónt lelőtték, amerikai tisztviselők felvették a kapcsolatot a török hadsereggel, és figyelmeztették, hogy az amerikai erőknek joguk van megvédeni magukat.
Az eset után Lloyd Austin védelmi miniszter telefonon beszélt török kollégájával. A beszélgetés során elmondta, hogy az Egyesült Államok csak azért van Szíriában, hogy az Iszlám Állam terroristái ellen harcoljon – mondta Ryder.
