US military releases video from Russian fighter jet crash with drone
Communications were lost with the drone as the image pixelates into color bars (abcnews.go.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Vlad was trying to overspeed the TPE331-10GD powerplant on the MQ-9 by dumping fuel in the engine inlet--this bypasses the normal overspeed protection of a flyweight valve in the fuel control. My money sez' that prop left a big hole in Vlad's jet and shook some teeth when it hit. Definitely unprofessional flying.

After showing a damaged propeller blade.
Hey, Vlad, you bent my airplane!

It was an unmanned aerial vehicle.
I couldn't care less about that.
