  1. Nice of the Pentagon to release footage; it seems everyone agrees the drone ended up in the Black Sea; but is the drone with the bent prop the same drone? It seems to have lost the yellow bars on the prop tips; it looks like land in the background (or cloud cover has changed) and it's still got a rudder (looks more like a bird strike, to me). Can we really take the American claims of incompetence seriously? Flying a drone, that can be armed, near a war-zone; with no transponder (squawker); what did these military "experts" expect? Even I can see the skill of this pilot and the intent; so now there's a $32 Million drone gone down in waters where Russia has salvage rights; it's not Russia that's incompetent here.

  2. I didn't see any collision; it looks like a different drone; but if we can't trust the Pentagon... do we?

  3. What Reagan would do? Likely fire Lindsey Graham; a very queer chap; the colonel of accounting... He wants war but he won't go; just another "chicken-hawk". It's looking like WW3.

  4. @@brandonletzco1433 I do know that jet engine exhausts are very hot; also that a prop driven drone is slow compared to a jet fighter; certainly a lot of force is being applied, but it's below hyper-sonic speed and this jet fuel seems to have done such a clean job of paint removal I might start using it myself. If it was fuel that did the damage to the prop, it's not technically a collision; if it was a collision (as others have pointed out) that's some flying (to miss the rudder); it also seems that the camera is in a slightly different place. Another oddity is that a pilot dumping fuel must be fairly close to base; it looks like land in the background of that clip (with no fighters in sight); or the cloud cover has changed a lot. I just don't think it's the same drone; if so it's the Pentagon trying to mislead us. I'm told the likely reason the transponder was off is that independent sources can't verify the drones position; I'm not sure who has the radar capabilities to do that, it's beyond my ken. However the Pentagon changing it's story a few times; my guess is the jets took down the drone just by battering it with whatever the plural of vortex is and the collision footage looks like a bird strike (drones hate birds too). I'll leave it to others to play spot the difference, but (to me) there's something odd about it; if the pilot can hit just one blade I'd give out medals for that.
