Russian fighter jets flew dangerously close to several US drone aircraft over Syria, setting off flares and forcing the MQ-9 Reapers to take evasive maneuvers, the Air Force said. US Air Forces Central released a video of the encounter that took place on Wednesday, showing a Russian SU-35 fighter closing in on a Reaper, and later showed a number of the so-called parachute flares moving into the drone's flight path.
