Do we have confirmation that the fuel release was intentional or was the russian bird possibly just leaking fuel naturally.

Quoted: Unfortunate but goes without saying….what does “collision mean? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Is really unfortunate that I don't believe that there was a collision. I simply don't believe anything our government says anymore. Was our drone taken out by Russia jets and we don't want to escalate so we're blaming it on a collision? Unfortunate but goes without saying….what does “collision mean? incompetent drunken Russian pilot ran his plane into it? |

Quoted: When the Iranians tried to shoot down a drone we started putting fighter escorts on them. Curious how it will go this time. Maybe the faggot Biden will apologize, who knows. I’m sure all the Ukraine bros are happy though as this gets us closer to a shooting war with Russia. They won’t be fighting Russia, of course, but those Reddit clips they watch from mommy’s basement will be sweet. View Quote Overall, I still support the US supplying weapons and intelligence to Ukraine to expel Russia from their country. That said, this is a big reason why I hesitate. I have zero faith that Biden or anyone in his administration will do anything in the best interests of the United States. I don't think its hyperbole to say Biden despises this country. Biden allowing the Russians to down our spy plane without a response, a real response, is going to embolden the Russians into further shit that will guarantee we are fighting in Ukraine. |

A tail hook could have brought the drone down without damaging the fighter.
I'm not reading through seven pages of purse swinging to see if it's been mentioned already |

LOL When you have fools whose decision tree operates on: "Did Biden say something?" > Yes. > "Believe the opposite." "Did a incident happen to the US military while Biden was President?" > Yes. > "Believe the foriegn adversary government" |

Would be really interesting if Russian was able to use some EW device.... |

They should add a couple hundred feet of carbon fiber cordage impregnated with diamond dust so it gets sucked in the already shitty soviet jet engines. Something light enough not to be seen easily but heavy enough to fuck up the engines real good.

Fuel release is a tactic designed to flame out the engine of the turboprop. It might work, it might not. I think it didnt. So they then either did one of a few things.
Ram the prop on the back with the radom of the MIG. Or try to tip it over by putting the migs wing under the MQ9's wing and disabling it that way. |

Quoted: You left out Russia capping JFK and the American response being to hide the evidence files from the public and even today are too scared to release them to the public. View Quote Russia did not kill JFK. That was a 3 letter agency. The files that were found after the fall of the soviets mention this, Oswald tried to meet the Soviets in Mexico City at the Soviet Embassy before this happened and they did not want anything to do with him. We had intelligence agents following him before the assassination. They were very concerned that we would think they were involved because of who killed him. |

What is a Reaper doing over the Black Sea ? We have Global Hawk's for surveillance. |

Gotta take the pressure off all the bank stories right? What better than a war with the Russians? Biden probably flew to Moscow in our secret hypersonic plane to make the deal. |

Quoted: People on Twitter are actually asking a good question - What is a Reaper doing over the Black Sea ? We have Global Hawk's for surveillance. View Quote The Airforce says the mission of the reaper drone is the following: Mission The Reaper is employed primarily as an intelligence-collection asset and secondarily against dynamic execution targets. Given its significant loiter time, wide-range sensors, multi-mode communications suite, and precision weapons, it provides a unique capability to perform strike, coordination, and reconnaissance against high-value, fleeting, and time-sensitive targets. Reapers can also perform the following missions and tasks: intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, close air support, combat search and rescue, precision strike, buddy-lase, convoy and raid overwatch, route clearance, target development, and terminal air guidance. The MQ-9's capabilities make it uniquely qualified to conduct irregular warfare operations in support of combatant commander objectives. |

Denying our involvement doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, right? View Quote US surveillance in international airspace is not direct involvement or engagement with Russia forces. Russia shooting down a US drone in international airspace IS, however. We use our satellites to spy on Russian forces in Ukraine, too. Going to White Knight for Russia if they launch an a-sat missile at one of those, too? |
