  1. It was blown up before it hit water. There's nothing left. They have destruction device on board in critical area so nothing left for Russia. But put out a big lie. And propaganda. Like NATO and Ukraine does.

  2. 32 million!? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  3. Who are the laughingstock of the world? The gringos shot down a Chinese (supposedly) spy balloon using missiles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Russians shot down a gringo military drone, worth millions of dollars, with just a pee of jet fuel.

  4. If I find this drone, I will sell it to Canada.
    Laughing gas caused this drone to lose its AI ability so it fell into the ocean.

  5. Putin has no respect for this admin. He knows jb is riddled with dementia. Putin only invaded his neighbors under Bush O and jb. Not the former POTUS. to date ~ 200,000 lives have been lost in Ukraine and now China and Iran are moving toward alliance with Russia. Good job whoever is actually running the country.

  6. Just another Prof thats Russians are all liars

  7. Russia: Let's mess w/ their 32 Million $$ Reaper Drone & Down it.

    Trump: It's OK go ahead, in 2019 Iran Shot Down our "RQ World Hawk"

    Drone, worth 100 Million $$, and I Trump, didn't do Ship! about it.

  8. Drone pilot should have pulled up, and crash into the Mig evening the score.

  9. Who takes the msm news seriously anymore? Iโ€™d believe Russian was over news here in America. Coming from an American citizen

  10. These games will end up killing us all.

  11. Of course there's hesitation.. Putin will see a fierce US fighter in the air ready to party! It will no longer be "a proxy war" in his head.

  12. This communist is the culprit.

  13. $32 Million drone Vs. $5 Billion natural gas pipeline (that was built to carry over a $Trillion in gas to Europe, saving them many many $Billions in the process). And the State media here makes out like RUSSIA BAD. Europeans know what we did to their chances of getting cheap fuel and they are NOT happy about it. Shed all the crocodile tears and spread all the propaganda you like but the US blowing up that pipeline is most definitely going to come back to hurt us severely in the long run.

  14. What a good pee by Russian….๐Ÿ˜‚

  15. It's like a pigeon shat on it at first… then Tasmanian devil came and really tore it up

  16. What if it's staged for war

  17. Russian pilots knew that the US military liked oil, so they did so

  18. Glory ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

  19. Americans do the same ..there is no difference between you guys

  20. Regular crazy Ivan move ….

  21. why not who asks what the USA drone was doing in the skies of Russia?๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

  22. Arrogant and disrespectful ๐Ÿซก

  23. DIDNT actually see the mig contact the drone so its inconclusive at best but that passes for 100% real fact for some sooo idk. No evidence the mig made contact other than this circumstantial evidence. The last thing the drone saw was the mig still out by a few yards by my count before the feed ends so…. like why would the camera cut right there? Then pick up later ONLY to show the damaged rotor…..

  24. Time to install flak pods.

  25. So know your money disposable.

  26. MQ9, is an attack drone and capable of electronic warfare flies with transponder OFF in Russia airspace and helping Ukraine with intelligence and attack against Russian armies since last year. The SU 27 pilot has all the legal right to shoot it down. Russia should shoot down the other USA and NATO Eletronic Warfare plane flying near Russia and Ukraine air space that helping Ukraine Nazi in the fight against Russian.

    International law allowed tHe plane to fly at international airspace, US drone loitering around Russian/Crimea airspace 24 hours since last year, BUT IF THE FLIGHT ARE NOT AN INNOCENT FLIGHT BUT AS A PARTY WHO GIVING THE INFORMATION, GIVING INSTRUCTION AND INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN ATTACKING AGAINST ONE COUNTRY, ITS IS THE RIGHT OR A COUNTRY TO TAKE NECCESARY ACTION TO ELIMINATE THE THREAT.

    Salute these SU 27 pilots, who dare to defend its territory against the USA and NATO bully and hegemony act.

  27. So we wasted our tax payer money never try recover it.

  28. ****( DRONE VIDEO )****

    They release the Video of RUSSIAN jet U.S. Drone collision;

    but STILL will NOT show the Public the Videos of the 3 SUPPOSED BALLOONS they shot down !

    And WHY is the NEWS media NOT asking about the Videos of the 3 SUPPOSED BALLOONS they shot down ???

  29. Send in the Transgender army that should scare them …๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  30. 32 million$ drone lives matter..๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  31. The Proxy war before the inevitable World War-III has already been started from Ukraine.

    Iran, North Korea, Belarus, Syria and the mighty China will join soon in Russian block directly in this end game.

    Many other countries like BRICKS and OPEC states, Hungary, Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Pakistan and Egypt may join silently or indirectly with Russian-Chinese block next.

    Some NATO and EU countries like Turkey, Germany, Moldova, may swap their position in suitable time.

    The beginning of the END of the US Dollar dominance has already been started with the Era of Crypto-currency exchange and with barter trade system of Russian oil, Chinese, Iranian and North Korean weapon sale.

    Saudi Arabia and other OPEC counties may also start exporting oil avoiding US Dollar soon.

    The inevitable future OIL CRUNCH may lead panic oil price jump to +200$ a barrel.

    At the final stage, China and its allies may SALE-OUT US Dollar, stocks and bonds to submerge US Dollar era.

    US ally countries worldwide may SHRINK among Israel, UK, Canada and Australia only.

    The west and US$ monopoly is on the verge of collapse.

    Surely the Chinese-Russian alliance can secure overwhelm strategic and tactical advantages than the US and NATO alliance if the BRICS and OPEC states, Turkey and Egypt join in with Chinese-Russian alliance.

  32. How is Tucker going to spin this?

  33. That guyโ€™s hand is gonna get stinging for a while after all the hi5โ€™s!

  34. Where was this, Florida? ๐Ÿ™„

  35. Ok Russia If thatโ€™s thee attitude you didnโ€™t shoot down the drone! We donโ€™t have to admit we shot down the balloon!

  36. And what you gonna do now p** Biden?

  37. Your thoughts on the current controlled EXTRATERRESTRIAL reality disclosure process and related US GOV cover-up? Once the uneasy, contagious giggling subsides,

    how will our civilization adapt to this publicly known reality?

    What might be some of the potential implications of disclosure of this reality? New energy sources perhaps? Transportation? Religions? History? The economy?

    Perhaps it leads to confirmation of an established "secret" space program?

  38. All the Millionaires and billionaires in the US should hire the biggest group of Assassins and go storm Russia

  39. Wow funny we have video of this and not of u guys shooting down "spaceships" u guys are full of it watch between the lines people
