I suspect they tried to dump gas on the drone so it would suck it in the air intake and flood the engine to crash it, or at least damage it, or reduce the duration of the flight to open a window where they weren't being spied on by it.
The Airforce created so many flying regs. If American pilots pulled a similar stunt. They’d be crucified by their command. And then again by the Washington Bureaucrats.
Unprofessional? This is war. 🙄
What did the Russians think they were playing at? GTA? How dare they pee on our drone!!
The US defense is outraged because the Russians didn't fight with shovels.
Professional = Sending billions of tax dollars to actual Nazis with zero audit trails whatsoever. Got it.
OMG - I can't believe he said: "unprofessional." Hilarious.
Unsafe and unprofessional = waah it's unfair that our dronerino was teabagged.
Operating in international airspace = just off the coast of Sevastopol, flying towards it.
Imagine if a Russian drone was spotted close to an army base "in international waters" ??
We better just smile and accept a lost drone. One drone for two pipelines is a good trade for us.
"Unsafe and unprofessional"
Please get this fucking loser out of my military. Sad it was allowed to weasel itself up as high as it did.
But the climate!! You can't just dump fuel in the ocean! Pathetic responses.
I kind of like the way the Ruskies do business.
