The very end of the video shows one of the prop blades bent into a ‘J’ shape ...

Did some quick math on wing velocity of the fighter plane that would be needed to damage just ONE prop blade on the MQ9. Think about a spinning cooling air fan and you are going to swipe your hand through the spinning blade path. How fast would your hand need to go to avoid getting hit by a blade?
There are 4 blades, about 6 foot in diameter on the MQ9 drone I have seen in the still pictures posted here on FR. For calculation purposes I assume the prop is spinning at 1000 rev/min ( I think this is slow by the way) and the width of the SU-27 wing is one foot wide.
The wing linear velocity would need to be over 16,000 MPH to hit one prop blade and safely escape the swath path of the spinning prop before hitting a 2nd blade. Let's say that one foot is too wide for the tip of the SU-27 wing. Let's assume it is one inch wide. The speed of the SU-27 now would be reduced to 16000/12 = 1330 MPH !!
I'm not saying we are being lied to, but then again maybe I am.
