MOSCOW, December 1/ Sputnik Radio. The US military admitted that a US Air Force F-16 fighter jet dropped a fuel tank on the village of Fukaura in northeastern Japan before an emergency landing, Kyodo news agency reports.


"We are very sorry about this. According to the pilot, he had little time to make a decision in an emergency situation," said a representative of the command of the American Misawa air base at a meeting with the head of Fukaura, where seven and a half thousand people live.
