Iranian drone buzzes US aircraft over Gulf
Cairo - Mena
An Iranian drone came within 1,000 feet of US aircraft during fixed-wing flight operations on the USS Nimitz in the Gulf Sunday, officials said.
The US Navy characterized the approach of the Iranian drone as "unsafe and unprofessional," adding that the drone failed to use navigation lights at night, which "created a dangerous situation with the potential for collision," ABC News reported.
The drone "made several passes in close proximity to Nimitz and its escort ships during active flight operations, coming within 1,000 feet of U.S. aircraft" and was unresponsive to repeated radio calls to establish communications, the Navy said in a statement today. - This is the 14th unsafe and/or unprofessional interaction between US and Iranian maritime forces in 2017.
