TL;DR Summary

The US military has released footage of two Russian fighter jets flying very close to a US drone over the Black Sea, dumping fuel on it and eventually flying into the drone. The video footage appears to show the US craft was damaged by a collision. The release of the video comes two days after the Pentagon said a Russian Su-27 fighter clipped the propeller of an uncrewed MQ-9 Reaper drone that was operating in international airspace, forcing it down into the water.
