So, shooting down a Russian airplane is an act of war, but knocking one of our aircraft down is OK?
I really don’t see any difference between a shoot down and an intentional mid air collision.
They’re both hostile acts.

Maybe the jet wing tip got right between the 2 vertical stabilizers and hit only the propeller? Could be a lucky shot.
I don't know much about data streams but makes me wonder if interpreting those glitch patterns can reveal anything about the type of tech used. I presume who ever signed off on the video release took this into account. Pretty sure someone's coming up with a video on YouTube about these patterns soon!
The fighter pilot is keeled over after celebrating his first air to air kill and that he wasn't promoted to submariner.
I love that we live in a country where if the US government or media reports it then a certain portion of the population simply believes the opposite must be true...cue conspiracy theorists...
I do love the predictability of people...
This is going to be a nothing burger, just a slow news day. Pretty sure way bigger stuff goes on and we never hear about it until some NYT article 10 years later."When talking peace prepare for ..." Hopefully diplomacy wins!
What?

That was my assessment, that the pilot was dumping fuel and trying to create a air wake to knock it out of the sky.That was fuel dump, not AB. AB plumes don’t linger in the air like fuel. Those lingered.
Two passes, getting very close, looked to me like he was trying to “thump” the drone with his wake/jet wash.
But he got too close.
The damage is evident in the end of the video.That was my assessment, that the pilot was dumping fuel and trying to create a air wake to knock it out of the sky.
However I see no evidence of any strike on that video. We're told it hit the prop. I see the opposite of that on the video, no damage to the prop nor any evidence it was struck by anything other than air pressure. Seems to me a high speed collision with the prop would have had dramatic effect and video evidence. I see nothing of the sort.
I'm no pilot but I am aware that strong air wakes can disrupt lift and otherwise knock aircraft down. I've seen a few reports of airplanes crashing after losing flight physics, in the wake of others. And, we're told a lot of things these days.
Done poorly?unavoidable because the maneuver was executed so poorly.
Oh, I didn't see that. Thanks for pointing it out.The damage is evident in the end of the video.
