The UK Ministry of Defense has denied reports that Royal Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon fighters shot down Russian drones over Ukraine. The denial follows earlier media claims and a Romanian Ministry of Defense press release which stated British fighters had received authorization to engage and had established radar contact with a target near the port city of Reni. This clarifies a previous incident where RAF Typhoons locked on to Russian drones but did not fire.
