After an American MQ-9 Reaper drone was forced to crash land in the Black Sea on Tuesday following an incident with a Russian fighter jet, the Pentagon has released video footage from onboard the drone.

US officials say it shows a Russian SU-27 fighter jet 'fuel dumping' close by before a second jet flies in and collides with the drone's propeller.

Here's all we know on the incident which defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke says is "almost certainly... a flying accident caused by pilot error".
