See moment Russian fighter jet confronts US drone

The US military's European Command has released footage of the encounter between a US surveillance drone and Russian fighter jets over the Black Sea. The newly declassified video depicts critical moments of the mid-air encounter, which the Pentagon said lasted 30-40 minutes. #CNN #News

The Russian plane apparently hit the prop so hard it knocked the paint stripes off, too. Now *that* is talent.

😮 wel spotted 10/10. The bull**** from USA is breathtaking.

[@Perykvaal]

@@SW-jo4ik Shouldn't be hard to spot. When they first show the prop, it's moving slow. Then they show a still frame, and the two blades are clearly striped with large, yellow stripes. When you see the later footage with the prop bent, the yellow markings are...gone. So...yeah. Talented Russian pilot, apparently. Also, I find it interesting that, despite the title of the video, we *don't* see the "moment" the Russian fighter allegedly hits the drone. The video feed conveniently cuts out, then we see a damaged prop. I can't help but wonder, you know?

Hahahaha they unintentionally followed the drone for half an hour, unintentionally dumped the fuel on it, unintentionally crashed into it and now they will unintentionally go to find it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@horst4439]

Crashing into it might in fact be unintentional but an accident. Usually small airplanes crash because of violent turbulences from bigger planes, which the much faster fighter really is. In this case the way how russia first tried to explain the crash wouldn't have been this far fetched. But as the video shows, it seemed to be intended to down the drone by applying jet fuel somehow. The action went out of hand. The fighter's pilot might be in some trouble now internally.

[@thephoenix756]

1. The video shows land. This means that this drone is not in international waters. 2. Transponding has been turned off. What is an American reconnaissance drone looking for in Russian territorial waters? If Chinese or Russian drone will be in this time in American waters, the pilots will have the right to shoot the drone. What you aspect when the American drone is close to the Russian border? 3. Once the camera takes it, it means she was expecting it. Doesn't this mean that the Americans are looking for a confrontation with Russia? What you did it with one Chinese balloon, and now all "media" is crying, because Russian is protected their border.
