[@feloniousmonk3049]

On the final pass that resulted in impact, you'll notice the jet deliberately came from below the drone, and CLIMBED up into and above the drone, causing it's airspeed to decrease, and the controls of the jet to become less effective, due to lower air speeds across the controlling surfaces. The pilot miscalculated his airspeed, too slow, in an attempt to really drown the drone with a larger dose of fuel for a longer period of time, it's airspeed being much slower from the climb. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that jet was close to stalling speed and didn't get enough lift from the wings with such a low throttle setting.

[@jonathanpfeffer3716]

Going off of known speeds for the MQ-9 and video evidence plus just general knowledge of the SU-27 we can say with absolute certainty that the 27s were almost stalling the entire time they were engaged.

[@zix_zix_zix]

Dear Binkov, First, you're taking for granted that that US drone was delivering ISR services to Ukraine. This is not correct; we don't know what that drone's mission was. As a matter of fact, in view of its location and capabilities, it is more likely that it was NOT doing that. Maybe, it was providing situational awareness concerning the maritime traffic in the Black Sea. Or, maybe, it was just flying on a "freedom of movement" mission, to test airspace access. Second, you're concluding that the Russian pilot collided with the US drone accidentally. Maybe it was an accident, maybe it wasn't; "accidentally" implies he acted with negligence, which is defined as "a gross deviation from a normal standard of care". I don't think this is the case here. The pilot's actions indicate HE INTENDED to harm the drone. This means he was aware that his actions could probably cause damage to the drone, and HE ACCEPTED that eventuality. This is a different state of mind and degree of culpability.

[@thewhiteknight6736]

@@thewhiteknight6736 The only reason it turned off its transponder is because it was not flying in busy airspace.

The US obviously knew that Russian radars had detected and were tracking their drone.

[@zix_zix_zix]

@@matthorrocks6517 I am not "assuming" anything. I watched the video of the air collision and I reached only conclusions I consider to be reasonable to the extent of the video evidence provided to me. For everything else, I commented that we do not have adequate information to reach a conclusion.

This isn't the first time Russia (and China) harass US assets in International airspace (and Waters). The last such action that created a major international incident was when China's fighter collided with a US Navy P3 Orion in the South China Sea. Chinese fighter plane crashed and pilot died. Americans had to land in Hainan Island and were taken prisoner (later released). So colliding your aircraft with another aircraft is usually suicidal. Russia wants to end this war, but they can't, without a change in leadership (probably through violence). They're at a point of no return, and quickly going down a long path of humiliating defeat and complete isolation. So they can only harass NATO assets near Russian theater of operations and nothing else. US is being smart not to respond forcefully. Why beat on Russia when they're already down and beaten....best to give them a way out without collapsing the entire Russian Federation into a sordid mess. Then we will have bigger problems.

From March 21 to April 20, the Global Hawk flew three times within Romanian airspace over that sea at a distance of more than 400 km from Crimea (the range of its radar stations is 200 km). The Global Hawk flew on March 17 and March 21 at a distance of no more than 140 kilometres from the southern coast of Crimea. The United States considered a further continuation of flights in this area inopportune since at such a distance, the amount of information received by the UAV is drastically reduced and there is a danger of losing the Global Hawk, which is several times more expensive than the Reaper and it is saturated with the most advanced equipment.

[@tluangasailo3663]

It was international airspace, and the Reaper drone had every right to fly. The Black Sea is not owned by Russia; it is also surrounded by NATO countries like Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania. This gives the Reaper drone a free ride. If Russia's bombers can fly over the Sea of Japan and the Baltic Sea, then the US can fly over the Black Sea without any issue.

[@johanderuiter9842]

Well obviously not 🤣

[@gaborrajnai6213]

It flew 10 miles off the Crimean coast. International airspace generally starts at 40 miles off the coast, besides they declared no fly zone there, so they have every right to shoot down anything which goes into there.

[@jonathanbuzzard1376]

@@gaborrajnai6213 Nope international airspace starts where international waters start which is 12 miles off the coast. You don't get to declare a no fly zone in international air space and finally Crimea is under international law *NOT* Russian, so they can actually fly over Crimea if they want.

Stay Strong Ukraine

[@deaks25]

For me, there's a couple of factors in the calm response from the US: firstly, Russian Air Force planes have been regularly buzzing NATO ships and aircraft for some time now, pretty much since Russia got involved in Syria, so it's likely the USAF is used to these kind of encounters. Given the very low average of hours a Russian Air Force pilot gets, a misjudgement in a close pass was fairly inevitable, and the video suggests it was very much a case of incompetence rather than intent. The other factor is that I understand the US does not look at UAVs in the same way as manned aircraft. Sure, it's annoying that a valuable asset has been destroyed, but Reapers are hardly top-tier kit and the pilot isn't at risk. If we were talking about a manned recon mission, I suspect the US response would be more severe. And as I say, this looks very much like rank incompetence exposed while trying to engage in run-of-the-mill posturing and chest beating. Honestly, the whole incident reflects very poorly on the ability of Russia and its pilots and I've seen very little from Russia since the clip was released, which speaks volumes itself; Russia can't really say anything without looking 'weak'.

[@don_5283]

Best play is probably a back-channel communication from the US to the Russians, saying essentially "We'll let you off the hook for this one, but keep a closer eye on your idiot pilots, or there may be actual trouble."

[@delfinenteddyson9865]

I was told the pilots got a medal out of that; if getting back an aircraft after botchering an intercept is worth a medal, than the bar is really quite low 🤣

[@Stephen85]

It is funny reading the Russian bot comments about how they totally owned that yankee drone, acting like it's a way bigger deal than it is.

[@ritamoniz6463]

US is a powerful military country only to the weak countries like Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, or any other countries deemed as preys to its military prowess. Not to Russia nor to China neither to all other nations with bowls!! You better start seeing things this way. It is not the number of military equipment or assets that defines the outcome of the war!

[@rowaystarco]

@@Stephen85 yeah, it's funny. It's a lower tier drone as Binkov says. Sure it costs a fair amount of money, but not nearly as expensive as Global hawk or the manned planes. If they attack a manned NATO plane, they'll be in a lot of trouble.

[@zahjav]

Russia has a history of harassing US and NATO assets in US and international airspace/territories. Just take a look at US interception of Russian aircraft off the Alaskan Coast. Or buzzing NATO naval assets around the black sea and baltics. Granted, this one is only significant because of it geographic proximity to Ukraine. While this is a more coordinated effort, I wouldn't be surprised if the squadron commander was like "well top brass says we need to harass it without taking it down, so here's how it's going to go". Deliberate or not, the only important part is Russia downed a US UAV off the Ukrainian coast due to a pilot's lack of skill.......by the Russian pilot. 10/10

I wonder if placing a suicide charge in the drones and giving the pilot permission to detonate the next time a plane flies so close might discourage future attacks.

[@douglasm3310]

I’m fairly certain that is the case. When the DOD first talked about the incident they mentioned having to “terminate”the drone. That and the US didn’t sound overly concerned about recovery. Though any charge would be tiny and attached to sensitive equipment. Not something strong enough to damage anything else.

Grim Reapers simulated the encounter. The Reaper cruises at the jet's flight ceiling; very difficult to even get to it without pulsing AB.
