"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."
