According to Bing...

The RPM of most large propeller aircraft is about 2,500 - around 40 rotations per second.

Can a spy camera really generate a flawlessly focused stop action photo at 40 frames per second?

“what if you went full afterburner without igniting the fuel... i’d imagine it’d look like that”

Except the fuel ports were next to the engines, not inside of them, so no thrust there, even if ignited.

his intent was to splash fuel in the flight path of the drone

Yes, CCD video cameras work at a framerate of 60 frames per second, and are shutter based so that the actual exposure time (which depends on the available light) will only expose the CCD pickup element for a fraction of that 1/60 second frame.

If you look at the video, it appears that the propeller is moving very slowly, when in fact it is moving very quickly and is just being captured in a "stroboscopic-like" effect.

In film, it's often called the "wagon wheel effect" because in the 1950s Westerns, the frame rate of the camera and the rotation of wagon wheels made it appear that the wagon spokes were rotating backwards, when in fact the were not.

Here's the full collision vide from Rumble. You will see the bent propeller only in the last few frames before the video ends, so keep watching when the color bars pop up. The image returns.

Investigation shows a bent propeller.

Milley is afraid to blame Russia for doing it on purpose. So sad the way they kowtow to our enemies.

(But they are busy going woke.)

They are saying sloppy flying by pilot.

Pretty precise hit to be called sloppy.

your pic is bs. that’s NOT in the video.

It is at the very end of it. After the screen goes wonky, the video comes back and that image is what is seen at the very end.

[the frame rate of the camera and the rotation of wagon wheels made it appear that the wagon spokes were rotating backwards, when in fact the were not.]

It’s an interesting effect. I was in Branson several years ago and was watching a ferris (!) wheel at night - of course it was rotating.

I could concentrate on it and at various points it would appear to rotate the opposite direction. It was at an angle which I believe (?) makes it easier for this effect to happen. Of course it didn’t rotate the opposite direction but the visual made it appear to (sometimes).

any evidence that doesn’t fit your narrative is fake. Got it.

If you watch closely you can see the first SU dump fuel temporarily blinding the camera, the the second SU tries it and hits the prop which is clearly bent in the last frames.

Thanks for the collision link.

Sen. Rubio saying this morning that there should be armed jet escorts for the surveillance flights. Stumbling into WW III.

Perhaps the drones should have a mechanism to blow itself up if any enemy planes get near it, oh, and take the planes out too :) Then we just say that the plane hit the drone and caused the explosion, whoopsie.

So.. Russia lied ONCE AGAIN!

They said they had nothing to do with the downing of the US aircraft-drone, but know we have the footage proving they attacked Americas army!

Malfunction or error-—that’s funny.
No way that could be intentional!

Depends on the plane design, but I’ve only been flying since 1979, so tell me all about your expertise BOB.
