The U.S. military surveillance drone that crashed into the Black Sea will likely never be recovered, White House spokesman John Kirby said on Wednesday. The craft was intercepted Tuesday by Russian fighter jets, which struck the unmanned drone's propeller and made it inoperable, the Pentagon said. Russia's defense ministry blamed the drone's "sharp maneuvering" for the crash, saying its jets did not make contact.
