What is the us drone doing near Russia?

[yo-yo]

Notice how it's to scared to actually shoot it down😂 now that our drone are being escorted by fighters why aren't they keeping that same energy

Wow that’s a professional maneuver… sheeshh and they landed their plane damaged after.

Immagine if an unmanned Russian drone was in the Gulf of Mexico. How would that go?

When the pentagon edited the video and inserted a "damaged blade" they forgot to paint the yellow tip as the others. Bent doesnt mean cut or removed. So we should be able to see the yellow tip!

More BS about fighter jets from TIME! Why am I not surprised? The Russians brought it down by using their electronic counter-measures. It's that simple.

- When you switch off afterburners and have tons of fuel the engine wont burn, AND you make the maneuver we just saw, it's basic aerodynamics seeing the jet stream we are seeing. What would you gain by dumping your fuel willy-nilly?
- 0:19 says the pass 'disrupted video transmission'. WRONG! This looks more like the pilot is using his electronic counter-measures against the Reaper.
- 0:37 says SU27 begins 'second approach'. WRONG! What we see is the SECOND SU27 because no air force on the planet sends ONE plane to meet with a flying object that has its transponders turned OFF without knowing what it is!
- 0:48 "SU27 collides with MQ9"!? WRONG! The Reaper is a 4.5 TON hunk of metal. You know what would happen if the SU collided with 4.5 tons of metal, mid-air?

- It also says it damaged one of its propellers. WRONG! The Reaper has ONE propeller to begin with and it could still glide and land if the prop failed. What we see in other videos is one BLADE of the prop damaged. This wouldnt cause the Reaper to spiral uncontrollably to its death. It could still glide and land


Russian electronic counter-measures at all their glory! Well done, lads!

Interesting how the camera glitches out. If I was a general who over seen the project for the construction I would be pissed. All that money and they can't even get a steady shot like Hollywood does. Seems like a waste of money.

Personally I was never more honored to see part of my stolen money (taxes) helping Russians show us what they are capable of. Bye-bye Reaper!
