A dashcam footage is always good when making a claim after an accident

Where the hell is Tom cruise when we need him?

Russian Pilot: It was the drone's fault. I honked twice.

Should have seen RT news. There was a whole article on how the drone lost control. As soon as this video came up the page was deleted.

Wait, the Russians lied? I'm SHOCKED! 😃

The drone has been there almost daily for the last year, it can be seen almost daily on flightradar24. The interesting thing is that the drone always flies at 50-55, 000 feet, which is very high and well above the hight that domestic airliners fly. Its interesting that SU-27's in particular did this, as they can fly at up to 62, 00 feet. Not all fighter jets can operate at the drones height, it looks like they were sent to do a job on it.

I'm just glad the drone pilot got out okay.

Props to the camera man who stayed to film this

Damn USA, flying aggressively in a straight line, not dumping fuel!!

[JanskiPolanski]

Calling this "unprofessional" was a nice way to put it.

[khominhvi]

The aviation equivalent to road rage. The russian pilot was like "the drone cut me off!".

[eggsmann]

That pilot getting out of his fighter to change the prop on the drone was the real amazing feat.

[michaelwheeler]

I thought only Russian tank turrets could get that high.

US : lunch a missile into balloon
Russia : hold my vodka ... Lunch a whole jet into drone

[steelstriker]

Frankly I'm surprised they actually hit it, usually the only thing they collide with is the the ground

[hindolmukherjee]

This is so cool ... They should do it again ... Its genuinely fun to watch ✌️

[StoneCoolds]

Russian media : clearly the drone brake checked the russian civilian plane

[klinker]

I must admit that this video is pretty cool

[johnstirling]

Turns out the Russian air force is quite capable when no one is shooting back.😁😁

[JosephGab]

Im so dumb i just realised why Russia didn't just shoot it down it was because its gonna be an act of aggression but in this way Russia can say it was an accident (even though its clearly was not)
