"Thirteen drones moved according to common combat battle deployment, operated by a single crew".
The drones that attacked Russia's Khmeymim airbase in Syria were operated from the U.S. Poseidon-8 reconnaissance plane, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Colonel General Alexander Fomin said.
He explained that the drone switched to manual mode after confronting Russia's electronic countersystems, indicating that they were operated by a "technologically advanced country that has access to such tools; they can not be made in the Syrian desert". "It undertook manual control", TASS cited Fomin as saying.
"When these 13 drones came across our veil of warfare, they retreated to a certain distance, received the appropriate commands, and they started running out of space and to suggest to them the so-called holes, in which they began to penetrate. Then they were destroyed", Fomin claimed.
