I'd say typical war thunder player behavior when they either didn't have ammo or didn't want to waste ammo

[alextrunderbold]

Is it just me, or is the US Army hiring Marvel VFX artists to do their CGI? That Propeller looks like CGI and not a good one. Not only is the CGI bad, but it looks like a very different Propeller. Damn it, Marvel VFX, damn it.

Gasoline? The jet sprayed GASOLINE? Is this the best American news reporters can do? Lol

[simonrajan]

So America became the first country in the history of aviation to have its drone receive a ‘golden shower ‘ at high altitude .The Mile High Club is so passé !Break out the

champagne 🍾 for those Russian fly boys. Cheers to this new record in aviation .

The maneuver was far cheaper than firing a couple of missiles at the drone.

[Premium-Believer]

The drone operator had opportunity to crash his drone to the jet😂

[C.O.]

The russian jet must of knocked those yellow stripes of the bent propellars too....SUS!

[samnaps]

Who cares what Rubio has to say about this? haha ...I mean, really.

[samsonjones]

Notice how they are reporting the video shows collision, but in fact all they show is a still image of a bent propeller, and not evidence of collision…..

[nickkovalev]

Damaged drones prop doesn't have yellow stripes and it's not just lighting.looks like different drone. Watch the video of the bent prop a few seconds later after they show the still. The drone also had their tracking transponder turned off. Against international law. Russians were well within their right to defend that airspace.

[mastersr]

almost sounds like the chinese balloon

[valerydomino]

The propeller bent in the wrong direction.

[kenmasonj]

U.S. show the Video of RUSSIAN jet U.S. Drone collision & CHINESE balloon they shot down

but NOT show the Public the Videos of the 3 SUPPOSED BALLOONS they shot down?

Y is the NEWS NOT asking about the Videos of the 3 SUPPOSED Balloons U.S. shot down ?

[mryoureauser]

When are you going to realize that “unsafe and unprofessional” don’t have anything to do with military conflict? Oh yeah buddy, they’ll go at it.

[SorbetthekindUbuyinandhandsto]

OK Washington DC, the DOD, and The Associated Press, whatever happened to "classified information"?

[artur_]

no the russian jet just started go sharp up with full power and the drone just was under the jet heat turbine line and melted and loses control

russian jet dont have the function drop cerosine, if he had this do would be completly engine and the smoke line on fire

[artiartibald]

on merit, there is nothing to fly in a zone closed from the flight with the transponders turned off, the drone operator is a fool

[jadawin]

Yet another show of Rubio brilliant mind, lets send fighters to escort un-maned drones. Then we will have their fighters in close with ours risking American lives. Does he even know why we use drones? so as NOT to put pilots in harms way when WE are not at war.

[NTFmain]

ooo noo, where yellow paint disappeared from propellor after the "crash"??? Fake news

[pRmal.]

This was no collision, the media socks. This was a Russian jets using its AFTERBURNERS to blast the drone with a shock wave of compressed exhaust gasses. Words matter.
