@EdNashsMilitaryMatters they are surprisingly big aircraft those reapers so if the Russian actually bodychecked it like the footage suggests it'll need a bit of panel beating to sort out.

Was the damage on the first pass enough to bring down the drone, or was that second pass/impact the one that did the damage?

@Aqua Fyre I saw a Predator several years ago, about the size of a Cessna single prop light aircraft, and I think that the MQ9 is bigger. Given how much damage a bird strike can do that Russian jet will need a bit of TLC.
