Just stop this madness. Stop it.
Who knows ? Something is fishy about this video and where did it originate?
Non-pilot here. Was the fuel dump a sign that the Russian pilot expected collision? Are we basically talking about a malfunction or error with either the Russian fighter or the pilot?
So how did they get the video? Was there a second drone? A satellite?
From the link:
The statement reads, “At approximately 7:03 AM (CET), one of the Russian Su-27 aircraft struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters.
Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner.
This incident demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional.”
Deep Fakes abound.
Every plane that I know of dumps fuel out of its wing tips. Perhaps the animators didn’t know that?
Damn, that Russian pilot is one gutsy son of a Jill.
However, we are once more back to the question, who do we believe? Moscow or Washington? Two well known liars.
The Democrats or the Republicans? Both well known liars.
If I understand correctly...
If Russia and China fly surveillance drones in international air space off the USA coast line, the Biden Administration will NEVER shoot them down?
LOL - well, that is reassuring!
Stumbling into WW III.
Does the camera record damage done to the Russian aircraft???
I’m wondering about the risk to the SU-27: since at that collision speed, even a minor impact with a much smaller and lighter object could presumably cause significant damage, as in bird strikes. Which makes me think that any contact, if it occurred, was unintentional. Completely different from the RAF WW2 V1 wing-flipping technique, where the Typhhons or Meteors had first to match the speed and direction of the V1, before a very gentle controlled contact.
The jet did NOT hit the drone.
he flew across its path while dumping fuel so the drone would run into it.
basically, he pissed on the drone and the drone went down.
We know the Biden administration lies all the time.
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!

Sevastopol, sometimes written Sebastopol, is the largest city in Crimea and a major port on the Black Sea.
Were not Russian aircraft in WW II designed to also ram German aircraft? I remember seeing a copy of instructions on how to ram a German plane years ago.
