"The drone was flying at about 4,000 metres (12,000 feet) and was virtually invisible from the ground. It was possible to break the link with US operators with complex radio-electronic" technology, said Rostec in a statement. The drone fell "almost intact into the hands of self-defense forces" added Rostec, which said it had manufactured the equipment used to down the aircraft, but did not specify who was operating it."


US drones may inoperable if conflict breaks out.

I think Monday is going to be a very interesting day for politics and the markets.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

The US categorically denies that any US drones are flying over the Ukraine. Uh huh.
