202 views Mar 16, 2023 #russia #drone #blacksea US military officials have released a dramatic video of the moment a Russian fighter jet collided with a US drone over the Black Sea earlier this week.
The footage shared Thursday morning by the US European Command (EUCOM) was captured by the underside camera of the MQ-9 Reaper drone as one of two Su-27 fighter jets attempted to spray it with jet fuel.
On the second try, the jet collides with the drone’s rear propeller, and the screen pixelates as communication goes down.
An audio clip also purported to capture a Russian salvage team recovering the aircraft’s engine casing.
“We raised part of the object,” one voice says in the recording obtained by East to West.

I say we should have nuked the Chinese Communist leadership back in the 1950s. By now they'd be a second Japan, peaceful and productive.
Is this now about simply just personality conflicts here over who’s morally right or truthful?
Does it have much to do with Russian aggression or Globalist machinations anymore?
Folks here swords pulled over what is 95% propaganda from the western media and at least some level of it from the alternative view
This is always reminds me of Schiavo
I’m only one here sees that link in freeper behavior?
It’s not about a ‘personality conflict’. It’s about Russia downing an aircraft in international airspace.
They just crossed a line and there WILL be payback. I have no idea what form that payback will take but all the same it will happen because such things cannot go unanswered.
“You’re disgrace to memory of Ronald Reagan.”
Better than paying homage to Russia by using the name of a khanate that Imperial Russia conquered in the 1500’s.
Why not use Cuba as an example instead of Canada or Mexico?
Russia already has an erstwhile ally in Cuba. So why not make your straw man arguments about a country that really is a Russian ally?
What’s stopping Russia from doing whatever they want to in Cuba?
Russian bombers fly to Cuba and refuel for the return trip every week or so. I’m sure Cuba would not mind a visit from the Russian navy. Maybe send your aircraft carrier if it ever works again.
Don’t forget Venezuela! They like Russia, too!
“Russia HAS CONSISTENTLY sought peace”
This is true. Russia has consistently sought a piece of Georgia, a piece of Japan, a piece of Finland, a piece of Ukraine, a piece of Moldova, & etc.
And a piece of Austria and Hungary per chance.
Maybe you should...unless you think those stripes on the prop in the original video got stripped off by the fuel dump.
Stop projecting and start paying attention.
So you’re telling me you couldn’t notice that this was
taken by a second camera from a different perspective?
Go back and look at the first camera angle. Use your
mouse to slowly look at the prop frames. You’ll notice
that in at least one instance as you watch the prop go
from about 11 o’clock to 6 o’clock, the stripes are
not able to be seen in the lower position.
It’s the lighting. Stop projecting.
“Good answer. I like the way you think. I’m gonna be watching you.”
“Good teacher. He really seems to care. About what, I have no idea.”
Sure bro...
Okay, then you couldn’t notice that the stripes became
indistinguishable in lower light.
You could follow the prop from 11 to 6 o’clock and see
the stripes disappear.
Why are you acting childish over it?
Are you idiot or extremist?
Just the wake in the air of a close pass could have messed up the drone.
I guess you haven't heard of the Bay of Pigs invasion?
The Soviets, however, backed off.
We kept and keep escalating in Ukraine.
The same thing that SHOULD have stopped our meddling in Ukraine -- military force.
The Russians know they couldn't defend any troops they stationed in Cuba.
We should have known that there is no way we could win a proxy war in Ukraine.
BTW, I am perfectly consistent. If Russia or China were engaged in the kind of military buildup in Mexico or Cuba, I would be all for US invading.
ADDRESS THE DAMN POINTS or admit you can't.
There isn't a nation on earth that has invaded and meddled in more countries than WE HAVE over the past 30 years. And, virtually every time we've done so, it has been to benefit our political elite, their financial backers and the defense industry. Long gone are the days of Ronald Reagan, who used our foreign policy to try to free those in the rest of the world from tyranny.
Your neocon worldview and narratives are lies.
