Looks like he had a few vodkas before the flight, nothing amazing about it.

@istheyear-ry1el Just yesterday Russian airplanes came close to Estonian airspace in the Baltic sea and were escorted by jets form UK and Italy. They regularly even enter FInnish and Estonian airspace multiple times a year and are escorted out.

@MetallicReg Fuel isn't going to bend a propeller and it appears the bend is towards the way the propeller rotates, so if fuel was strong enough to bend it, it would have bent in the other direction. Also if fuel would be enough to bend the blades, there would be more than 1 blade bent. So no, the mass of sprayed fuel didn't bend that blade.

@pablodelsegundo9502 You could make it work so that when the drone loses signal and figures it can't return to base on it's own, it will self destruct before hitting the water. So jamming the signal would not prevent self destruction. First it would try to fly home and if that isn't possible, then self destruct.

@christineblaszczyk1602 Not according to what I read. They can only erase the data, but not blow up the drone to destroy sensitive hardware like the camera. Seems to me that should be a no brainer: at least the capability to carry a small explosive for that purpose and use that capability in this type of situation where the drone is operating in waters that are not easy to access by the navy.

@mikeglenn5212 The cameras and other hardware are interesting to the enemy as well, not just the software.

@penguinista They should have the option to carry, a slot for say 1kg tnt charge close to the critical components for example. In this scenario it would have been very handy as they don't care about the drone being destroyed as much as they do care about secrets being leaked as a result of it.

@fotiostriantas4673 Yesterday they said they didn't even hit the drone which they obviously did as we can see from the damage to the propeller. So another blatant lie, no way to spin it.

@rf5595 I have seen it from multiple sources. You don't see the bent propeller?

@rf5595 That is the best you could come up with or was it your boss? 😂 You people never understand your blatant lies just make you look incredibly dumb? How about once simply admitting the truth instead of these pathetic fairy tales nobody outside of Russia believes?

@MetallicReg Nope, only 1 blade significantly bent and in the wrong direction. Fuel spray could shut the turbprop down but not bend one blade like that. If you claim it's just an illusion from the framerate of the camera, provide some actual evidence instead of empty claims.

@MetallicReg The propellers direction of rotation is clockwise compared to the direction of flight so what we see in the video (counter clockwise) is correct and not the wagon wheel effect. You can even figure this out by looking at the way the undamaged blades are bent in the video or better yet in still images. So you are full of S and if you were correct the drone would fly backwards. Fluids don't pick and bend 1 blade to a scoop while leaving the others mush straigher or totally undamaged. If the blades were bent due to some cloud of fuel, we would see roughly equal damage on all the blade. So again, you are full of S.

@MetallicReg "The framerate backspin is present in ALL videos ever recorded. This isn't even something that is needed to be proven - rather the opposite. You will need to prove that there were miraculously no backspin." You claim you checked every video "ever recorded" !?😂The wagon wheel effect doesn't mean in all videos the direction of apparent rotation is incorrect🤦🏼‍♂It means the apparent rotation can be either correct or incorrect and even change during the same video between clockwise and anti clockwise. So it can't alone be trusted and one needs to look at the blades to figure out which way they need to rotate to generate propulsion in the way the airplane is moving. So just more lies from you. There are countless videos where the apparent rotation matches with the direction of actual rotation by coincidence, it depends on rpm and camera frame rate.

@istheyear-ry1el "British, German jets combine to escort Russian plane near Estonian airspace" So UK and German, not UK and Italian as I remembered.

@chloris6349 The drone was over international air space so there is no way anyone can spin this. Russians already lied about the incident yesterday and claimed they didn't hit the drone as this video proves they did.
