Something is “off” with the released video.. the Russian plane approached from behind the drone and supposedly clipped a propeller that bent the tip of said propeller causing the drone to be UN-flyable. But directly towards the front of propeller area are stabilizing wings/fins that appear to be quite a bit taller than the propeller. How does a jet hit the propeller without hitting the stabilizer fins/wings? Am I missing something or was the jet pilot very lucky or very skilled??

Had the same thought
I think the theory with the fuel being heavy and damaging the prop while it as under load makes the most sense.
