CNN reporter explains why it was ‘important’ the US released Russian drone video

CNN Pentagon Correspondent Oren Liebermann and Retired Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton share remarks on the latest on the release of the Russian drone video. #CNN #News

Basically the video proves two things:
1. Their planes are not as agile as F18s
2. They're certainly not the Blue Angels.

"A lie does not cease to be a lie, even if millions of people are guided by it" (Leo Tolstoy).

Russia are like OHSHIT they have a gopro on it ??? wheres my vodka

[vernearase]

Put warheads on surveillance drones - arm them when they're engaged by an enemy aircraft and stream GPS coordinates to prove location.

Detonate the warhead if the enemy aircraft comes too close or impacts with the drone.

1. It destroys the drone and makes it less recoverable.
2. If the enemy loses a fighter and pilot they may exercise more prudence in the future.

dude in the thumbnail looks incredibly pissed in every video I see him in lol

[theewokingdread]

Geez! Calling rapist, civilian killing, nuclear building bombing unprofessional and dangerous! Doesn't really effect them!!

[seanoneill]

The U S sees it as international airspace . Really ? why such an ambiguous statement ? It IS international airspace, there is no doubt, no interpretation needed .

[r.o.]

If our military equipment is ever captured it should have and manually or auto self destruct option!
🤯😵👍

[theeoarsman]

The US should have steered the drone right into the jet and then blame it on the fuel dump!

[mazamatov]

Russia just sent a rocket to rescue an American astronaut from a craft that had a dangerous air leak.

[journeymansmitty]

Wow that drone got hit so hard he knocked the paint out of it LMAO😂😂😂

[williamcassidy]

Why are there two different drones in your drone footage one drone has yellow markings on the tips of the propeller then the video goes fuzzy and then there’s no yellow tips on the drone Propellers in the next bit of footage

[al-paciyes]

Russia should have waited for the drone to enter their airspace, and act only upon citizen's complaints. Just like what joe did what the Chinese balloons😂😂😂

[jan-pkun]

USA is a king and king maker of the world.they can do anything.

[Martao]

Too bad they didn't self-destruct the drone on exactly the right moment ...

[henniedevilliers]

Retired Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton has to say what he was told to say. However, there is no footage of any collision. A real Air Force Veteran should have some basic understanding of simple physics, notably of inertia and momentum. Keep in mind that air is thin and has extremely little friction. Also bear in mind that real pilots, like the Russian Pilot are not stupid and risk his own life with a collision. The entire video is very, very fish and only fools the feeble minded.

[saltdaemon]

Obviously, the propeller bent itself... duh.

[realone]

Russia can't even defeat Ukraine 😂 much less a Armed to the teeth America !!

[afridgetoofar]

I’m an American, and I work in sales. I deal with many customers and workers on a daily basis. Not once has anyone ever brought up Putin.

[swoopy]

Expected an apology and got none... that was expected 😂...
What did you expect, RSVP?
