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.

Jonny boy was arguing about the wing tips. Do try to pay attention to the details if you’re going to rudely interrupt our discussion.

Now that’s a “Near Miss”.

“Look they almost missed each other.”

“Yeah, but not quite!”

Do you actually think that it doesn't matter what happens in Ukraine?

I've heard this bullshit for the last 50 years. From Vietnam dominos to Iraq WMD to Syria ISIS. And after we have disappeared from that war - NO, none of it mattered. IN fact, our betters in DC have been the CAUSE the chaos.

So does it matter what happens in Ukraine? NO. It will only matter as we progressively insert ourselves and the consequences pile up.

All wars accomplish is to replace one baddie with a new one.

Remove The Kaiser, Get Hitler.

Remove Hitler, Get Stalin.

Remove Tojo, Get Mao.

Impossible. The Kremlin Squad said yesterday that no Russian pilot would be stupid enough to collide with a drone.

“reality is the US lost a sophisticated drone”

Oh no. Whatever shall we do? It’s not like we have 1000 other sophisticated drones waiting to replace it.

This is a screenshot from the link you posted in #22, the post you are offering as proof. It's a Facebook page from someone named Rocco.

You don't even know what you posted.

Guess the pilot needs to learn to “think in Russian”.

“Didn’t we declare WAR against Russia as soon as we started giving weapons and military aid to Ukraine?”

By that logic, Russian declared war on us 7 decades ago and we’ve been at war ever since.

Rude? I was ageeing with you on the jet make, using other structural details. If that’s rude, then I need to quit wasting my time with your Wright Flyer brain.

The only disappointment is Ivan couldn’t recover the drone whole, intact. That would definitely shut down the US war machine, remember when the Chinese forced down the US P3? The entire US defense com was crippled for two years. The US has to change everything from burst encryption mode frequencies to IFF transponders…. Virtually every branch of the military was negatively effected.

Idiots? The Russians are under no obligation to allow a spy drone into the theater of battle in Ukraine.

This was yet setup to stir up Russian hatred from Russian-hating fanatics like you.

Can anyone explain how the Russian aircraft damaged the drone’s propeller bending it into a “J” hook??? How did it happen? And does the video show damage done to the Russian plane? I can’t imagine an aircraft striking another causing such damage not receiving significant damage??

As the Ukies slip deeper into the abyss, the collective West will step up their escalation. Expect more, fact is everyone knows Vlad holds all the cards, except for senile Joe.

A 1” x 1” cube of C4 inside the drone wouldn’t make it a weapon; just a small part of the “circuitry”.

Yes, the Russians ARE FAR MORE HONEST than the Biden regime and neocons, which have done nothing but lie about out meddling in Ukraine and the proxy war they wanted with Russia.

Fools like Lindsey Graham are determine to start a hot war with Russia, WWIII and nuclear war and it is endangering us all.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/03/was_the_us_drone_supplying_reconnaissance_data_for_ukraine_to_target_russian_forces_and_territory_.html

U.S. drones collect data that Kiev uses to strike Russia, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said. "We are concerned about the unacceptable activities of the US military in the immediate vicinity of our borders. We are well aware of the purpose for which such unmanned reconnaissance and strike vehicles are used," the diplomat notes in a commentary due to the fact that an American MQ-9 drone crashed in the water area Black Sea.

"Many be the US will learn we have no business fighting a war 6,000 miles away."

So in your opinion, we should have sat out WWII??

WWII happened because we didn’t sit out WWI.
