  1. They wanted to cause the least damage in taking our drone down so they could quickly recover downed drone/data

  2. This is a Ukrainian drone. It doesn't matter where it's made.

  3. The Russians could not tell the truth if their lives depended on it. Not a single Country,.. including their friends ..ever believe anything they say. Its a Country who's leadership lie more than Trump..and that is saying something.

  4. πŸ€­πŸ˜†πŸ’ͺπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¨πŸ‡³πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³πŸ‡°πŸ‡΅πŸ‡°πŸ‡΅πŸ˜†πŸ€­πŸ’ͺ

  5. So what is Joe Biden the illegal alien POTUS going to do about it?

  6. The stripes are still there, but the drone has changed direction, so now there is shadow over them, so it's not faked.
    But it is annoying they did this just to make people hate Russia more, when probably any other country would also intercept a drone near their territory, or near a warzone (even if it was international airspace)

  7. Video did not show the plane hitting the drone. Can US govt explain how the drone kept flying after the fighter jet hit it , got a nice video of the damage , a nice bend ?. Basic "Physics" did not apply to the drone !!. Violation of Newton's 3rd law of motion. Has US govt lied to us before ? Just once ?

  8. Drone propeller is way too different in the section pass. Even tho the lighting was washed out by the the sun its obviously altered or faked.

  9. They should take one Russian jet down first

  10. Confirmed, latest lies: Putin said " A few Mig were stolen in Crimea by Ukrainien recently, exactly the ones on this video" – Zelensky to be blamed..

  11. The blades lost their yellow stripes. The CGI guy had one job.

  12. All orthodox Christians like Russians, Serbs, Greeks, Ethiopians, Armenians and Copts inside the US should be placed in internment camps until Putin ends this war. The US can't win with millions of Putin spies around.

  13. It has been clear for quite sometime that the Russians completely lack anything that resembles desirable humans traits or professionalism.

  14. That was some wicked flyin!

  15. 2 billion dollar craft with a 50 cents camera

  16. Yes, let's start WWIII over this.

  17. My thoughts and prayers are with your mom.

  18. Poor Little Drone 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

  19. This looks like a fake CG

  20. "Video shows (blessed) U.S. drone intercepted (and damaged) by (impact with a disgraced TRE45QN TrumPutian) Russian jet over Black Sea (thereby proving that what blessed U.S.) Air Force says (is true while disgraced TrumPutin lies about this)" so let's "Convince It Forward" with Slava BOHU

  21. Keep drones out of Russian air space.

  22. Don't believe anything you see folks.

  23. The collision was pilot error (accidental). The downing, however, WAS intentional. If the intent was to hinder operations, the fighter would have slowed and taken a position in front of the drone before dumping fuel. Instead, the fighter approached at a high rate of speed while dumping with the hope that the force of the fuel hitting the drone would disable/down it. The big question is: are we going to send Putin a bill for its replacement?

  24. There’s no way to recognize the Russian jet, the American drone or the Black Sea.

  25. Ok that Craft cost over 2 billion dollars are we going to do something about it ?
