. and the aircraft was intentionally harassed by russian fighter jet, but it wasn't sure the collision was deliberate. she had botanic reports for a 2nd day. u. s. officials complained that their report drain crashed into the black sea. as a result of what they say has become a pattern of reckless and unsafe behavior by russian fighter jet pilots in international airspace this time resulting in a collision. i just got off the phone with my russian counterpart minister showing as i've said repeatedly, it's important but great powers be models of transparency and communication. and the united states will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows. this was the 1st phone call between the u. s. defense secretary and his russian counterpart in 5 months. and it's notable that the optimal to the incident, both moscow and washington are emphasizing the need for dialogue. none of that's

russia disputes, the u. s. account of the crash, a criminal says the drone had switched off its transponder and was heading towards russian territory, collecting actionable military intelligence against russian forces for the ukraine war effort explains scramble to identify the aircraft and then response. the drone took a vase of action that led to its crash switch. you have heard representatives of the pentagon and the joint chiefs of staff side. the united states will continue to fly wherever it pleases, in accordance with international law. but if you follow this logic, the space around the united states has the same status as the space over the black sea, much as with a drain itself. washington says it's deep underwater and unlikely to be recovered by the us military. as far as the loss of anything of sensitive intelligence, etc, as normal we would take and we did take mitigating measures. so we are quite confident that whatever, whatever was of value is no longer a value. russia says it will attempt to retrieve the drone despite the difficulties,

whatever actually happens. this incidence is heightening the fear of unintended consequences and the risk of heightened escalation between washington and moscow. she ever can't see al jazeera, the pensive. so let's bring in miles coggins. he's a retired us army colonel and a senior military expert and new lines institute. he joins us live from new york miles. good job with russia. foreign minister says at the u. s. was ignoring as based restrictions in the area. the u. s. says the drone was the international waters. was this incident inevitable? do you think given that the fast basis can be contested by both sides? there it's good to be with you. we expect that when you have multiple military forces operating in similar air space and, and see that there could be incidents where they encounter each other. this is not new for russian pilots to have unsafe intercepts of us aircraft. and the drone,

as you have reported, went down into the sea. there are many more drones in the american inventory. and the u. s. will continue to provide intelligence to our ukranian partners. and that's an important point to make miles because the u. s. has been flying these sorts of drug missions over the black sea long before rushes invasion. so what sort of intelligence can these drones gather? how helpful would this data then be to the ukrainians united states and nato and ukraine are collecting intelligence from the space through observation aircraft signals and electronic intelligence in good old human sources on the ground. and all of this is combined and aggregated together to provide the ukranian military, the best picture of what russian and wagner troops are doing. so you pray can effectively fight them and repel them from ukrainian led. and both the russians and

the american say they want to retrieve a drone, but the u. s. military says they've already taken what they call mitigating measures to ensure there's nothing a value for the russians to find. what does that mean? miles given, i mean to the u. s. erase sensitive data on the drone remotely before it crashed. well 1st, it's important that your viewers know these drones are providing real time intelligence that's collected and analyzed back at home bases by intelligence and professionals . so if you think of an old cell phone before you turn in an old cell phone or a computer, you're going to hit the white button and remove the data. so if it's dispose of properly, that information is not going to get into the hands of people who wants your personal info. same concepts here with the drum. and just a final thoughts you, i mean, this is the 1st time the u. s. and russian military aircraft of come into direct

contact since the start of the war in ukraine. how important is it then? but both sides now seek to de escalate this incident and not expand this conflict even further? while this week, since it is the 1st time over the black sea, russia and the united states have had ariel encounters off the coast of the united states, including alaska, also in the northern pacific and encounters on the ground in syria over the past several years. and in all instances, the united states and russia seek to de escalate. we're not looking for direct confrontations between russia and the united states that would just cause more problems for everyone else in the world. ma scoggins really good to get your thoughts on your analysis. thank you very much, david, talking to us miles. thank you. thanks. now, sir, in president, bashar allison has reiterated support for moscow and its war with ukraine was while meeting with russian president vladimir putin. it's assets 1st official visit
