If Russia shot down a US drone over international waters, hot water will result.

The Russians know they are dealing with cowards and that there will be no consequences.

“Struck the propellers” = “Russians shot it down”

I just can’t believe a Russian fighter pilot would be so incompetent to crash into the rear of another aircraft. Ergo, the drone had to have been shot down.

Environmentally unsound? Unprofessional (two times) manner? Unsafe?

Our DoD transvestites are extra bitchy today.

Do you remember when that Chinese Pilot sliced the nose off of one of our P-3s? He died and the P3 landed in China and they kept the crew for like a month or 2.

All over Twitter it’s reported the drone was shot down. This is the first time a collision has been mentioned.

The US Surveillance drone was likely being used to provide targeting information against Russian personnel. In so doing, the drone may well have been acting as a combatant in this war and therefore it could have been a legitimate military target. This conflict could indeed escalate very quickly and draw the US into a major war in the bloodlands of Eastern Europe.

A Russian missile flew into the rear of the drone, most likely.

Environmentally unsound? Planes dump fuel all the damn time. Now one could argue that blowing up a massive underwater gas pipeline is actually environmentally very unsound.

...and we sent an “apology” and the plane was returned in crates.
