Senator Lindsey Graham (U-DC) is trying to get the Libyan band back together as part of the effort to escalate a NATO war against Russia. In the latest development, according to the U.S. version of events, Russia took down a Reaper drone over the Black Sea:
The MQ-9 Reaper drone was making a routine flight before it was intercepted by two Russian Su-27 fighter jets on Tuesday. The warplanes dumped jet fuel on the drone and flew in front of it in a “reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner,” according to a statement from U.S. European Command.
One of the Russian aircraft then struck the drone’s propeller, rendering it unflyable and prompting U.S. operators to ditch it in the Black Sea. (link)
The Russian version of events outlines something akin to Russian pilots throwing a Pepsi at it. As relayed by Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov:
[…] “I explained the position of the Russian Federation,” Antonov said. “I stressed that the American UAV that was moving deliberately and provocatively towards the Russian territory with its transponders turned off violated the boundaries of the temporary airspace regime established for the special military operation, which was communicated to all concerned users of international airspace in accordance with international norms.”
“At the same time,” he added, “the Russian fighters scrambled to identify the intruder did not use on-board weapons or come into contact with the UAV.”
“The unacceptable actions of the United States military in the close proximity to our borders are cause for concern,” Antonov said. “We are well aware of the missions such reconnaissance and strike drones are used for.” […] “What do they do thousands of miles away from the United States? The answer is obvious – they gather intelligence which is later used by the Kiev regime to attack our armed forces and territory,” Antonov said.
[…] “Let us ask a rhetorical question: if, for example, a Russian strike drone appeared near New York or San Francisco, how would the US Air Force and Navy react? I am quite confident that the US military would act in an uncompromising way and would not allow its airspace or territorial waters to be breached,” Antonov said. “We proceed from the fact that the United States will refrain from further speculations in the media landscape and stop making sorties near the Russian borders,” he added. (link)
The United States govt/military justified their operation near the Russian border by saying we patrol everywhere in the globe doing these surveillance missions, so the Russians just need to stop being so sensitive:
[…] U.S. Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa routinely fly aircraft throughout Europe over sovereign territory and throughout international airspace in coordination with applicable host nation and international laws. In order to bolster collective European defense and security, these missions support Allied, partner, and U.S. national objectives. (link)
And, of course, Senator Lindsey Graham demands an immediate U.S. declaration of war against Russia:
The warplanes dumped jet fuel on the drone and flew in front of it in a “reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner,” according to a statement from U.S. European Command.
”Environmentally unsound”- are these people for real?
Is it then environmentally unsound to spill components of our service members bodies on foreign soil?
( u.s. border )
Is it environmentally sound to have foreigners ( and backpacks and illness and….)
invade u.s. soil in all states- for over 2 years…?
Do ‘they’ care to bring that up when the question / answer does not fit within their untold nefarious intent(s)?
People know…
Love thy neighbors
Whatever powers the drone is considered “environmentally unsound”….these morons need a new job.
Maybe they can be employed sweeping/cleaning up under lamp posts?
According a call in, drone host on radio show Buck sexton,
the body of a drone is generally lightweight ( aerodynamic shaped fiber glass )
and can remotely fly for 20 hours ( depending on payload ) – as long as there is a satellite signal being received.
Retrieving the digital technology, can help to reduce the drone effectiveness.
( a drone has been lost, before. And as such the reverse engineering ( copy cat of technology ) gets a boost. )
Some ( that work to produce / pay for it ) care about securing intellectual properties.
Sadly, others could care less. Ea$y come, ea$y go.
p.s.
What was the true mission of the lost drone?
( crickets chirping )
Persons know.
Whom truly sabotaged a nordstream pipeline?
People know.
Not much chatter going about some missile attacks all across Ukr last week.
The banks are making news for a week…
hmmm…
Imho
Remember the loss of the Russian flagship Moskal in the Black Sea?
Assets like this were likely involved in the Ukrainians sinking her.
And I mean Ukrainians sinking her in the sense that they pushed the button the US told them to push after entering all the coordinates.
All of the elite whether they are self-proclaimed ‘progressives’, ‘liberals’, ‘leftists’, ‘social democrats’ and ‘conservatives’ want this war. There must be a reason, I suppose they believe only the peons will suffer. Not too speculative a bet since that’s what happens with wars.
RINOs are really, really dumb!
I can almost see the ghost of John McCain standing behind Lindsey, whispering in his ear.
McCain glows in Lindsey’s eyes.
So Ms Lindsey wants to start WWIII and nuclear holocaust because a SU-27 supposedly pooped on a unmanned drone?
Why does the ghost of McuKraine haunt you so much?
Just the other day I was listening to my the music on my SD card in my car.
As I was listening to the lyrics, I couldn’t help but thinking that we don’t need anymore Willie McBrides or any young people in our Veterans cemeteries around the world.
We have already shed too much American blood on foreign battlefields. If lawmakers are so anxious to go to war let them put on a uniform, along with putting them on the frontlines where the battles are actually happening
Willie McBride
The sun’s shining now on these green fields of France
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
The trenches have vanished, now, under the plough
No gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now
But here in this graveyard, it’s still no man’s land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man’s blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation who were butchered and damned
And I can’t help but wonder, now, William MacBride
Do all those who lie here know why they died?
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause?
Did you really believe that this war would end wars?
Well, the suffering and the sorrow, the glory and the shame
The killing, the dying, it was all done in vain
For Willie MacBride, it’s all happened again
And again and again and again and again
Problem is they were using a Reaper drone which has a distinct profile. Now, if they had been flying a balloon it could have entered Russian airspace unabated. At least I’m told that’s how it works.
FLG
What in the world are they doing, trying to start WWIII…?
Seems like.
It’s a Piss Poor day when I agree with Russian Communists about anything.
SMDH !
Uh….Russia is not a communist country.
Robert also tells us Moochelle isn’t a tranny.
Fred needs to do some reading and research.
He is only 31 years behind in history !
Honestly anyone who says Russia is communist….should be embarrassed.
NAFO trolls….look at all the likes. Think Ben Shapiro. Their visiting of CTH is telling. TPTB understand how important this messaging is. They have no grassroots action. But they do have unlimited money printing sources.
We have more commies in our FedGov right now, than they have.
That probably applies to the vast majority of Western “democracies” too.
The west is closer to Marx’s version of communism than china or russia. Our financial capitalism distorts the pricing mechanism just as comunism does.
Yeah, but we know what Michael means.
And we never even noticed when THAT happened until we looked around and saw that it was WASHINGTON DC that was the Worst Communist Entity on this planet, now!
With CANADA’S Capital, Ottawa, in contention for a TIE for it.
Ha yes, we in Canada win that booby prize ugh!
No… now, the Commies control Amerika.
It’s weird to think how much I hate the US government, now.
In the past, I hated those who hated the US government.
These days, I trust Putin vastly more than our government!
It’s all so very strange now….
Frankly … Putin shares my values (for the most part). Just the most important things such as a man is a man, a woman is a woman.
A nation is sovereign.
Faith is essential.
So quaint these days, but I’m with him more than POTATUS.
😑 I feel the same way.
Same, Seems like Russia is becoming what the USA used to be, A Christian Nation That Values God, Family, Taraditional Values, USA is Becoming Secular, Whites and/or Christians are Vilified (Including by Many other Whites) And USA Is Celebrating and Promoting Degeneracy/Perversion, Heck Teachers are Taking Kids 5-10 Years Old on Field Trips To Drag Queen Shows ande Teachers tell kids to get sex change operations.
How can USA NOT be seen as the Bad Guys.
Based on this Russia is the Good Guys.
What are they then? Are their elections legit? Are we a communist country?
“Are their elections legit?”
We are in no position to question the legitimacy of any country.
We lost that right in 2020.
We are on the Socialist spectrum.
Communist, Fascist, Reverse Fascist, it almost doesn’t matter, the tyranny is approaching totality.
Uh, Russia was never de-communized. They just constructed a huge new memorial to—Joe Stalin. The communist party operates openly and has representatives in the Duma. None of the communist murderers were punished. They are nearly as communist now as they ever were.
More ridiculous talking points.
You seem to have trouble in coming to terms with the fact that Russia dumped communism.
“Uh, Russia was never de-communized.”
Should they have executed/imprisoned all of them?
How do think that would have played out?
The communist party is an opposition party. Like any other party in a democratic form of government.
“They are nearly as communist now as they ever were.”
More unprovable hyperbole.
I’m much more concerned about the Banderite NAZIs we are funding in Ukraine at this very moment
Any failure of Russia to move fully into free market capitalism can be laid at the feet of the robber barons the US sent them instead of actual competents seeking to forge freedom and friendship.
The US screwed the pooch big time when the Soviet Union fell.
Making an agreement with the devil in this instance means, handing over you sovereignty, in exchange for joining The Club, screwing over, your own citizens, and getting paid mountains of money.
It says a lot about Putin, deciding to decline the deal, presented to him by the “liberal rules based order”.
He decided to put Russians first, and now he is vilified almost as much as PDJT.
For those who must have been living under a rock since 1991…….
When USSR became The Russian Federation.
It then because a Parliamentary Democracy. Has a Constitution. 3 Branches of Government.
The last legislative election was September 2021.
The next Presidential election will be March 2024.
Russian Communists are one thing. Chinese Communists number in the millions and North Korea has super soldier Communists to aid the Chinese.
Russia ceased being a communist country in 1991.
The Russians are less commy than most of the FUS government
I believe the Russians. The US does nothng but provoke wars all the time.
Right, but who are the communists, Putin or us:
-you must take a “vaccine”
-sorry Africans you may not eat unless you sanction sodomy
-you must wear masks
-you must celebrate tranny’s
-we must “insure” liberal deposits for more than the premiums and guaranteed level
-no gas stoves
-etc., etc., etc.
Putin is definitely NOT a communist
no, but he is a professional propagandist. look up Operation Infektion. that was his baby.
russia has “no jab no job” so yeah, they MUST take a vaccine.
try holding a blank piece of paper up in red square. the last person who did it got 30 years in jail.
Your best bet is assume everyone is lying.
No it is not.
Why am I not surprised? Tell us about your drag queen show.
…and then lose them!
Graham: “it’s what Ronald Reagan would do”.
Narrator: No he wouldn’t.
Reagan intervened in Grenada when Commissar Bishop was about to give the Soviets an airbase–which is not unlike the situation of the American Drone Base where these weapons originated.
Reagan found a way to bring down the Commies without WW3. Now America is ruled by Commies–but not for long.
They laughed and laughed at Reagan’s “Evil Empire”.
And then became one. …….

Those are really the big three.
ABSOLUTELY NOT! THE GIPPER HAD GOOD SENSE!
And he KNEW who our Worst Enemies were by THEN!
Our government is trying to provoke Russia into WWIII. It’s their last ditch effort to distract us from the crumbling banking system, the CoVid crimes against humanity, the stolen election, the Russia hoax, the J6 lies, the corruption at the FBI, DOJ, CIA, the human trafficking disaster, Epstein island participants, open boarder, Twitter files and many more evil acts that OUR GOVERNMENT has done!!!! We are AWAKE and WE KNOW!!!!!
$32 TRILLION in debt, after spending US into oblivion !! And now, the FED applying a massive, shocking, rate increase putting a PANIC STOP on the economy … and Bidinh demanding massive tax increases including a 45% tax on Capital Gains!
So who’s gonna $$ Pay that massive Federal Debt? Unemployment is about to skyrocket and more people on welfare and food stamps. Yep … 2-1/2 years and the Democrats have succeeded in dismantling the USA as we’ve known it. So what now?
it appears as though WWIII is the Democrats only answer … our only option is to cede America to the United Nations asking forgiveness for our racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia. After all … EVERY speech by Bidinh is a scolding of all us “ugly” MAGA Americans of various phobias and -isms.
Question is, if most of that national debt was a product of fraud, who’s actual responsibility is that? The victim(s) or the perpetrator(s)?
Most of the national debt is intra-government debt, i.e. Social Security borrowed funds.
No, the money doesn’t exist. In cash and coins, silver and gold, the USA has $53 billion dollars. Everything else is fiat/conjured up/invisible/none existent.
Let that sink in, and imagine everyone deciding to pull their money from the bank, and that includes third world countries that they bribed, murdered, stole from.
THE MONEY ISN’T THERE. IT NEVER WAS. And that is why they need the digital dollar.
Well, there ya go Lindsey Graham! As long as Americans can buy toilet paper at the grocery, all is good here!
Cripes! We have Clowns, Crooks, and Fools running our Federal Government it seems!!!
Mostly crooks.
It is possible that both sides are lying about what happened and in fact the SU-27 was carrying a new anti-drone weapon and this was a test.
It appears the anti-drone weapon worked against America’s most advanced ‘killer’ drone.
Yeah its almost as formidable as Antifa and BLM.
Sometimes the simplest and most cost effective works best.
The SU-7 just “peed” on it 🤪.
We could not get rid of deep state intelligence community RINO liberal neocon Marco Rubio here in Florida because he was unopposed in the republican primaries, it was him or a Marxist democrat on Election Day. I’m certain same was true for Graham. Same kind of turd. That’s the problem. Hard to flush the toilet. Everything is fixed. Plugged with sewer rats.
Yes, that is also true for graham.
This is why our Army recruitment is way down.
I stopped at second 32 — “the little girl raised by two Moms.”
You didn’t miss anything. The film is more akin to a Unitarian Universalist recruitment commercial.
“Be all you can pretend to be!” GoneArmy
Anyone trying to get out of that army will end up in history’s worst economy. Discipline must be completely shot? How could you even get anyone to GI the barracks or even march? What would they sing if they could march. How long till it’s decided that rank is a sign of inequality?
Egads, just the idea that ‘Today’s Army’ is being recruited via cartoons says it all.
Raven: Many corporate, government and institutional websites uses cartoons, because it’s cheaper than paying actors to shoot commercials or make marketing and education videos. Of course, the other reasons corporations, governments and institutions now love cartoons is to treat viewers as little children with a 5th-grade education. It turns out, many viewers enjoy being treated this way.
Good grief!
Don’t let these people near you. Do what you can, and get out of the system!
This is just soooooooooooo dumb!

Have any of the people screaming for war ever been shot at, seen tracer rounds burning flesh, smelled death, or seen ass cheeks hanging from a tree branch? Those things change your mind about war,
They have not. That’s why they are always eager to start wars. They do not have children or grandchildren in the military or of military age. War is great when it’s other people’s children you are sending to kill or be killed.
Thank you.
LOL
Was I wrong to laugh..
Would love to hear the people screaming for war answer
They would just spout some nonsense above duty and country; to which I sing ” Give me an F.”
Gimmi a U
Gimme a “Joe”!
No, they have not seen those things. I have, 23d Infantry Division (Americal) ’70-’71
“Have any of the people screaming for war ever been shot at, seen tracer rounds burning flesh, smelled death, or seen ass cheeks hanging from a tree branch?”
Maybe you shouldn’t mention a$$ cheeks around Lindsey.
Why not?
He’ll race out to the front to partake, and thus we’d be rid of him!
They believe they have – on Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3, lounging in their dens. Everything is a game to them.
Hahahaha … and it was a GAME for our drone “pilot” with a joystick in his hand until a Russian jet’s airstream spun his drone in circles, before plunging into the sea.
May God heal your mind and heart for having seen such things. Thank you for your service and bravery. I’m a fairly tough, callous kind of guy … but I’m not sure how I would handle that. It’s enough of a description to make me think twice, and thrice … about bellicose talk
They usually make damn certain that their own children also never get close to it.
But they’d be next in line for the lamp post decorating party!
ROFLMAO… re: (U-DC)
Absolutley anyone watching Fox is being brainwashed.

Barney Frank is unavailable for comment.
He has the Cabbage Patch doll thing going on.
Lindsay has been completely taken over. I think he’s been compromised for a long long time.
Lindsey is not compromised. He is a skunk and crooked as the day is long.He needs no enticement to cheat out his country and Sean gives him voice.
Since 2000. Completely.
This bootlicking RINO can lead the first attack.
Strap him to a kamikaze drone and put a cowboy hat on him.
Biden and his posse are hiding from Putin. They could invade NJ and Biden would agree with them.
I don’t follow that story.. wouldn’t that propellor cause considerable damage to a $100 Million dollar plane??
I don’t follow it either. I cant imagine a pilot of a fighter jet intentionally or accidently hitting the drone.
He’d be grounded, perhaps indefinitely
Yes, it would. Completely absurd.
The Shifting Ukraine Narrative | The Z Blog (thezman.com):
Another heroic victory.
Like Afghanistan.
Most Ukrainian soldiers die without ever seeing a Russian. The Russians have a 10-1 advantage in artillery and pound the Ukrainian positions 24/7.
Read a story today where they attempted to conscript a young man who lost his hands as a child.
He got to the recruitment center and they doubled down, insisted he was going to the front.
It took a public uproar to reverse this particular insanity, but they have many more to perpetrate.
Blind man also got his conscripted notice.
Also, today, a story of a middle aged Ukrainian man without lower limbs, told to report for service. He lost his appeal in a Ukrainian court.
Judge said he didn’t have a leg to stand on.
SCOTUS Roberts reportedly sent that judge a supportive email claiming he wouldn’t have any standing in a Robert’s Court either.
You win the bad joke of the day award!
Felicitations!
A quarter -million dead Ukrainian men–and probably just as many wounded;
FOR NOTHING.
It’s unconscionable. They should strap Joe and Z to the next drone, and fly it over Moscow.
They have catastrophes
Stolen countries have consequences as well – good bye, ukraine!!!!!
Seymour Hersh did his story on Nordstream.
US media buried the story as long as it could.
Now it seems like they are coming up with “alternative stories” to try and muddy the water.
Only thing is that no one believes any other story but the first one by Seymour Hersh. At least sane people.
And each story the media dreams up about Nordstream is even more far fetched.
I just read one allegation that it was fishermen!
They already muddied the water when they blew up the pipelines.
What a war mongerer. Can not stand this man, or hannity.
The US just keeps on pushing, and twisting that knife, and pushing, and pushing until the Russians finally get tired of it, and…
I posted this on Redstate, and got a “down” vote!
It’s sad and frightening that supposedly smart and patriotic folk can be so easily stampeded into such suicidal stupidity.
Your term…suicidal stupidity…sums it up perfectly.
Redstate swings both ways, always.
Red State is pretty Liberal. Way deep down inside, I mean.
I’m kinda digging the fuel dump and propeller whack. It’s good to know the competition can fly. I’m also enjoying the Russians will give it a shot of drone retrieval from the very, very, deep sea.
America has been hijacked. Lindsey Graham is a pathetic shill for the war lusting globalist commies controlling the Whitehouse.I’m sure he’ll be in the rear if any action ensues.
You said “in the rear” and I burst out laughing
Oh….. If there is any rear action you can be sure Graham will be there.
Unless ALL they need is a MOUTH!
Have to disagree, I believe if the action ensues, Miss Lindsey will be raring to go to the front.
God bless Putin and Mother Russia! End it now before the F-16’s take flight or their weak imported tanks start to tread. Let China deal with that in Taiwan. I have a feeling China will fight differently, like Jon Kerry said, no pin pricks.
At the beginning of this SMO…..
People need to remember…
Ukraine Did have an Air Force.
That one was destroyed. Any other planes to Ukraine will end the same way.
As will the bases they fly from….be destroyed.
I understand that the US has the right to be in international waters and airspace…but the US is also funding Ukraine in this war providing weapons and intel and therefore is not a neutral party and expecting to fly these drones up to the Russian border near the war zone and not be confronted is unrealistic under the circumstances.
State Dept and NATO, lust for war.
Communists’ favorite weapon to distract citizens from what their own govt is doing to them.
We have always been at war with East Asia.
It is beyond incomprehensible why it look Russia this long to finally down one of those idiot drones. These drones are sending back real time intelligence on Russian units and activities, which assuredly has led to the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of Russian soldiers. Now the Russians can not back down. If more drones show up, send more of them down to the bottom of the black sea.
So an all-out war between the U.S. and Russia is planned as a “diversion?”
Diversion from what?
What difference does it make if we string them up for Covid fraud and its mass murder or financial collapse or pedophilia or their other disgusting perversions or a massive depression or the devastation of World War III?
Public hangings are a universal cleanser to bring final accountability they ALL deserve for their evil.
Diversion is not what they seek, destruction is.
And the really sick part is, most of these devils would probably survive, initially anyway.
It isn’t a diversion, they want Russia to lose all of its resources so they can take it, make them crumble so the WEF can have their stinking one world order.
Douglas Macgregor – Unheard of Tactics Takes Down US Unmanned Vehicle
Nice to hear Col. McGregor is as skeptical as I am about running a jet into a propeller, or dumping fuel on it. It’s quite obvious to me that the US military doesn’t want the world to know how Russia ACTUALLY took out our drone. Don’t want to give the ChiComs or Iranians any ideas … oops … too late.
I just cannot stand Napolitano. It is a personal problem.
I only put up with him to hear McGregor.
Let me guess? You don’t like the strawberry?
Definitely recommend that everyone watch!
Colonel MacGregor is always the one to listen to !
Average Joe’s I talk to on a regular basis can see right through the propaganda. Our government spokespeople and media are being exposed for who they really are, fools and ignoramuses. I fear they are leading us into destruction and annihilation.
I wish we had an Average Joe in the WH…
Somebody post the picture of Graham and McCain in Ukraine posing with the Nazis of the Azov brigade. Lindsey is a neocon, globalist warmonger as long as other people are doing the fighting and dying.
Maybe for Top Gun Maverick it is possible, but my mind is having a hard time with how a fighter jet can only hit a small propeller on the end of a 36′ drone?
If they did indeed hit it, they simply approached slowly from behind until the nose of their jet bumped it.
Doesn’t sound particularly credible, especially as that’s the American story.
The Russian story that it went out of control as it “maneuvered sharply” makes a great deal more sense; essentially a remote control jet attempted radical evasive maneuvers as if in an aerial battle, something I truly doubt they train for at all, and for which a platform like that is poorly suited.
I can imagine a suite of sensors and pilot feedback mechanisms that would enable a remote “seat of the pants” combat flying capability, but I’ll keep it to myself as I’m not interested in enhancing my military’s capacity for stupidity.
I doubt the jet can actually fly that slow …
Have you never watched a jet at an airshow do a slow motion tail stand, lazily sauntering down the runway?
More like simple jet wash of turbulent air sent it spiraling out of control. The same thing has taken airliners out of the sky.
Possibly.
The Russians had reason to harass the hell out of it until it hit the deck.
The jamming idea is interesting, and quite plausible.
We’ve made ourselves so vulnerable because everything has to be super-complex high-tech gee-whiz maximum bells and whistles STUPID.
I don’t much really care how they did it, just that they did it. Go Russia, someone needs to teach the Swamp a lesson, we can’t seem to get it done, maybe the Russians can.
Russia did not want to destroy the drone. They wanted it intact. So they could study the latest in US intelligence gathering equipment.
Hitting the prop is US version of the take down. Not how it really happened.
Russia says they dumped fuel from the SU27 on it , Flooding and stalling the turbojet engine. Or they may have hit it with some of their electronic warfare gadgets. Either way. Russian Ships were in the area ready to recover the wreckage from the downed drone.
Russia is trolling us. Discussing trivial antics is typical Biden Junior High.
Top Gun Maverick? Ron DeSantis?
Top Goof?
Naw, last we saw him in a cockpit he had to entrust the stick to his toddler.
I cannot believe I thought that Lindsey was a hero during the Clinton Impeachment Proceedings.
I suppose there may still be people my age that haven’t known anything at all about him since those days in the late 1990’s. And don’t have a clue what he has turned out to show himself to actually BE.
It’s especially SAD to see a person clearly demonstrate to the whole WORLD that they KNOW HOW to Do RIGHT and to RIGHT quite WELL, when it suits their own ulterior purposes to do so.
Like he did one day for a few moments during the Kavanaugh hearings.
All that does is highlight the Evil in his whole entire Constitution that he can turn around, even in the SAME DAY and perpetrate Evil on such a huge Part of the Entire World in One Fell Swoop, same as if he just sat down in a Restaurant and ordered breakfast -And it was Not a breakfast of human children, either, but something ordinary, like Plain Southern Pancakes and Maple Syrup…
Identical same expressions and bearing – Either Way.
Looking like a nice gentleman with good upbringing and flawless manners.
If they look like they’re fighting for us chances are good it’s simply a feint in order to enhance fighting us.
So according to our government, Russian fighter pilots 1) dumped fuel on the drone and then, with their expensive fighter jet, 2) rammed the drone’s propeller (which would have done damage, potentially serious damage, to their own aircraft).
None of this sounds plausible. Given that our government has lied to the American public about every aspect of this war whereas when independent verification has been possible, Russian claims about it have generally checked out, I’m inclined to believe the Russian version of events.
I don’t believe it either Marmocet. The Russians found some way of bringing down the drone with out shooting it down. I doubt they rammed it. They probably did this in order to cause the least amount of damage to it. Now they have it and will learn a lot about our drones.
Someone reported that the Romanians tried to recover it but the Russians beat them to it. If that is true it was probably closer to Crimea that the U.S. is saying.

Dot’s interesting.
Wow and they wanted to impeach Trump for pursuing trade and cooperation with mutual respect and benefit to Russia & The US !
These woke leftist democrats & RINOS won’t be satisfied until a pile of Americans come home in bodybags
Wasn’t it the US that already declared war on Russia and the global environmentalists when it blew up Nordstrom one and two?
Or when we put secret bioweapons labs on Russia’s border in Ukraine?
Or when we funded the Ukrainian natzi’s that attacked Russian speaking Ukrainians for 8years in the Donbass?
Or when they blamed Russia for stealing the 2016 election for PRESIDENT TRUMP?
Or when we bombed Russian troops in Syria?
But when Russia accidentally bumps an unmanned drone that didn’t harm one American.
NOW, we have to respond by sacrificing the lives of more of our innocent sons and daughters.
(Something Miss Lindsey will never have to suffer because he’s just a tiny, pathetic, little homo who’s not even brave enough to come out of the closet!
Let alone do his own fighting.)

Does Gulf of Tonkin tweak any memories?

I haven’t seen or heard if the UAV flight controllers detonated the onboard explosive charges once they concluded the aircraft was heading down. Ditching the aircraft in the Black Sea isn’t the same as destroying it. Anybody here know if the UAV was blown up?
Sig jamming would be a given
Haven’t heard any such, nor am I certain such even exist on this vehicle.
At this point, I’m rootin for Putin!

You know how stupid it sounds to say a jet traveling at 800mph is going to dump fuel on a drone?
You realize they don’t have to fly 800 mph simply because that’s their top speed?
Russians dumping fuel is not new, it’s like flipping the bird, a standard harassment humiliation technique, also kerosene is oily and will mess up windscreens and cameras.
What sounds stupid is anything our government says, because it’s 99% likely a lie.
