Botched Russian Intercept of MQ-9 Drone Over International Waters - YouTube

The Russian pilot turned his belly side toward the US drone. Never do that in a low-wing aircraft. He could not see the drone and tried to pull up at the last second and collided with the drone. Noob Russian pilot poorly trained-or just stupid. He was dumping fuel on it, but his poor flying skills and lack of good judgement caused the collision. Or he was just smoking Russian crack.
