First they hide train explosions with fake Chinese balloons, then they use drone collisions to hide bank collapses.
As I noted elsewhere, dumping fuel is a well know macho Russian Air Force thing done many years ago by Russian jets on some Japanese exercise near disputed islands. Famous in the Russian Air Force.
This guy was trying (and probably succeeding) in flooding the turboprop’s engine air intake. Hit the compressor blades within and caused a sudden stop to the geared prop. That would be enough to bend a prop without any contact at all. And btw, not likely actual collision would bend only one blade. Almost impossible for that.
Pretty good pilot.
