It appears Russia waited for the drone to be close to Russia to make recovery easier with a planned knock down so they could get to it first and recover it

Russian ships were probably close by also so they could get to it quickly

Officials have speculated that US drone debris has already sunk too far for recovery, after collision with Russian fighter jet
