Why are we flying our drones near Russia again?

Ukraine is not our ally or our war..

[hopsears]

Dropping fuel? Environmentally terrible

[rogerregistratro]

how do we know this is a drone and not a man in a drone suit?

I would have expected some more drone's tactical prowess.

Hasn't Russia opened the door for the US to design an air-to-air ramming drone? If they are happy to ram US aircraft then, presumably, they are also happy to be rammed.

Hopefully they gave the drone to China for reverse engineering.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was a wag-the-dog situation. The video could have been instantly released 30 mins after it happened, as they had the supposed feed from the reaper. Nothing like taking the extra time to potentially edit it. And it's not like certain places actually haven't made LOTS of shit up from the get-go!
