Two Russian fighter jets dumped fuel on an unmanned U.S. drone and then collided into it, according to the Pentagon. The U.S. downed the drone after the collision and blacked out its software to keep classified information out of Russian hands. NBC News’ Courtney Kube has the latest.

Why are reapers in Russian Air space?
No it didn’t. I was shot down by Russia and now the media is hard at work to prevent WW3
В наших сми пишут сам затонул, в ваших сми – сбили, только у мировой общественности возникает всего один вопрос: что делают американские дроны в Черном море?
Mhm…over the Black sea….
No not reckless – an Act of War.
it literally is not even close to an act of war, Susan. Youd do yourself some good to educate yourself before commenting
$32 million dollar drone…cotdamn that’s a lota $$$
The poured fuel on the drone. Lmao.
My prayers 🙏 and condolences to the drone, it was such a kind drone
😂🤣😅
It was a good boy. It was studying to be a doctor.
I’m renting a row boat to collect the drone. Just fyi china 20 million ….
Oh what a victims mentality USA has! It’s called war
So when china wanna spy, it’s not okay! But when us wanna spy it is fine.
😢😮😢
We’re going to war boys!
I hope the pilot is safe
yes, hopefully the done’s pilot is safe
@Kim jong un nice try troll
They did it on purpose. War time.
could someone explain to me how the jet fighter dumps fuel on the drone??? Is it like the Russian jet peeing on the drone while they both are on air?
USA is a PhD holder in False Flag against small and weak countries, but False Flag against Russia,,,,,ha ha ha ha ha….URAAAAAAAA
R.I.P. Russia.
America jets hit down China Balloons 🎈
Now America drones hit down by Russia jet.
This is equanimity in action 🤲
Look at the real radar footage of that drone , it was not where shown it, It was flying with the transponder OFF and was 20 miles of the coast of Crimea .. We have the data. Stop lying .It was the Mistake of the French operator prevoking Russia. It would really be hard to hit the prop as the modle showed, Why was not the jet damaged? Also, there is no real true fact or proof that there was any fuel dumped. It is all said they assume. The US is well known for lying and false flags to provke. If it would have been has Claimed, US/Nato would be in action and you would be reporting on that , not this. That in it’s self shows that it did not happen as the US cliams .You can not prove anything .It is all propraganda…Trying to get people on board with another unlawful war, just like the one they statrted in Ukraine and trying to start with China. Look at all the past wars that where all based on lies.
The US drone collided with a pro-Ukraine ship returning from the Nord Stream region of the Baltic Sea !!!
We all know USA is capable of false flags like Vietnam nam.
Sadly, we have a Pathetic coward in the Whitehouse. If we had Trump or Desantis. That drone wouldn’t be the only thing to crash in the water..
@Kraig StClair Russian troll? Russians are Pathetic cowards.
Digitally scuttled. Probably not the reaction they were hoping for.
The most powerful country in the world, the USA 🇺🇲, was afraid to shoot down 2 planes of rashists 🤬. Shame on 😒 !
@Kraig StClair I’m from Ukraine 🇺🇦, dude !
@Amazing Johnny comrade if you were from Ukraine you’d know they still have babushkas and make the best borsch.
Put down your Russian vodka and think about all your dead friends.
Oh yeah Muscovites are fighting the other republics are.
Fake News to gain power in the world.
@Kraig StClair Haha, you have a limited knowledge of what’s going on for decades. It’s good you keep your boo boo to your self.
PHD’S professors who studied International affaires from Oxford are saying this what I mentioned.
Space next.
Why is the USA flying drones near Russia? We are trying for WW3 🤦
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If there is no video, it didn’t happen that way.
@Kraig StClair Snappy intelligent comeback, I’m devastated right now 😂😆🤣
@Hologan77 It’s the vodka controlling your emotions.
Sober up and morn the thousands of your countrymen dying while your babushka hides you.
32 million just went into the garbage and I’m wondering what my next ConEd bill will look like!
SATAN downed from Heaven, revenge for Chinese baloon
Russia should have drones flying over San Francisco and New York.
Show us the dash cam footage lol I love Russian driver fail compilations
Gut gemacht Russland, die USA Faschisten haben dort nix zu suchen.
We are sorry about what happened! We have already sent a rescue ship and will provide the drone with all necessary medical services at our expense! Our condolences to the family of the Victim (Drone) 🇷🇺❤🇺🇸
They care more about a drone then me. I can sit and Rot in physical pain for all usa cares. Using depriving pain pills for human torcher.
Russia:. We will also do an autopsy to find out the cause of its early demise.
Hm. So Russia sees a threat and takes care or it immediately.
We have a threat fly over our entire country and just let it happen.
We are very weak. Thanks joe
Oh boo hoo drunk Russian troll
Thank trump for not noticing the others that flew over the US lol
America needs to strike a some SUs within Russia to let them know this will not be tolerated
Release the video
The Russians have gotten too lazy to invent such a nice drone so of course they want to take one.
Нахрен он нужен.
In the midst of war we have to remember that only God can give us true peace. We humans are evil beings. Trust in Jesus for salvation!❤️
REMEMBER THE MAINE, THE 0BAMA GOVERNMORE IS LYING.
Pentagon Says*
Lol
We take down balloons snooping but Russians are supposed to leave there doors an windows open might as well put sanctions on them if they don’t let us know what the ate last night cuz it sounded suspicious
Was the collision mostly peaceful?
Все было мирно и красиво. Как на свадьбе
How is this not an act of war?
Нет, мужик, просто сбитие
How dare they pee pee on our equipment. Send in the troops because your setting up the story line
Its funny you don’t want escalation yet send Billions to Ukraine for Russians to die in
Real news why don’t post ? Russian fighter jet shot down America fighter jet in to Black Sea! Why news ???? Rip for the lost .
COBRA – JOE LETs CE IF NYC WANTS TO REMAIN 🐍
” SHADOW “
Gosh. I hope it don’t start more serious war. The drone isn’t a life.
Why dump fuel on it?
Стрелять по нему нельзя, а то Америка разозлится, страшно будет
bravo russia, these drones with transponders turned off have to fly over the Gulf of Mexico and shoot down the balloons of the Biden administration alone, and they don’t want to learn from their mistakes
Привет из России, чувак.
That last statement she made is just disgusting fear monger media, the lefts mentality is disgusting
So confused so jets just have fuel dump? They said they dumped fuel on it ?
Керосин слили на него

WORLD WAR 3 SOON THANK U USA
THANKS MR BIDEN .
AND USA ILLIMINATI GOUPS ASKED FOR WORLD PEACE ?
We won’t forget it for them. After Ukrainian victory, Russia will be punished for all their crimes
It was their the biggest mistake – start a straight terror action to us
🔥😡Lol they say “ Bad piloting by Russian pilot “ l think it was surgical piloting just to clip the propeller . Imagine that , US News never stop lying , distorting the facts . And there are no international water in Black Sea, entire sea is divided . US will push Russia to the point we may have a WW3 in our hands , entire world is tired of American wars . Why don’t Americans just stay home ? What is their business in Black Sea ? Stay the fk home and let the world breath and have some peace man . They are scaring every nation and every nation hates America . And than we ask “ Why do they hate us so much ?” Because we are now after bombing one weak defenseless country after otter , sending their cities to Stone Age, killing millions of their civilians, we are picking a fight with a nuclear superpower Russia will doom the entire World . That is why ? Enough is enough . Americans are sleep waking to a WW3 as they have been sleep walking electing these corrupt war mongering , Lobby paid politicians for decades .
Putin doesn’t understand that if he wants, America will eat him up and he won’t even have time to notice
Oh I think he understands that. But he considers russia having nuclear warheads being his ultimate protection. And he’s at least partly right, because our politicians are letting russians slide after this one again. While instead we should’ve told the truth about russian fighters hitting the drone, while providing more help to Ukraine.
Putin is acknowledging that he’s not winning this war. He’s been breaching agreements and consistently lying for his personal benefit. The intervention of the US military has been instrumental in stopping the Russian Federation’s regular army from advancing.
Was the drone being operated by the CIA???
American made piece of 💩 probably fell out of the sky due to poor engineering quality like their cars.
Russia has been destroying Ukrainian territory and civilians for a year now. We must not allow Putin to decide to go against Europe, so we must help Ukraine until it wins.
Russia must not be allowed to win this war. This is a terrorist country that will never stop at one thing and will go on to war on Europe.
The drone is now beeing studied .
Russia try be top gun
They were supposed to be “stealth” drones? 😂😂😂😂 USA = bunch of gays😂🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺❤️
Turns out flying military machines near warzones, when you’re actively aiding one of the participants in a war zone, tends to cause issues.
who would have thought?
They didn’t pour, they dumped. Why is an American drone flying around a war zone? You eejits won’t be happy till we’re at war. I see a lot of people running down the Russian military, they just took out a 32 million dollar drone with jet fuel and tailgating. Now tell me how inept they are.
The Drone was lost due to pilot error.
Everything Russia does is a show. But how long can they be allowed to escalate? We need to support Ukraine even more and give them everything they need to defeat Putler and his orcs
Where ist the black sea? And where is America?
The russians will get the Drone and study it.
Stupid U.S….how su 27 crash drone .??? And su 27 its o. K???
Super👌👌👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Russian federation the Best🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷❤️💋👌👋
Skill Issue
Proof. Lot of talking
Russin jet pee on US dron😝
The big bird has taken a pee on the little bird
Russian BOTS are strong in the comments
Don’t worry, the people making money of the sale of these drones have their guy in office.
Or, US drone got in the way of Russian jet.
$32 million drone! Send a bill to The Kremlin
😆🤭💪💪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇨🇳🇨🇳🇰🇵🇰🇵💪🤭😆✌️
For the ‘Russian’ Pilots 🫒 from Ireland 😇
Didn’t collide. The latter part is a stitch on (up) of damage from a bird strike. It is already coming out that that scene is known to others. False flag at its worst.
The oldest habbit of US to go around and f—ing with people, later claims innocence.
We are aware of classic old tactics of colonization, crusades and US wars against the weaker countries / forces across the world.
Very likely, the drone was gathering intelligence to give Ukraine target coordinates in Russia.The US should learn to stay away from other countries and forever wars. It has its hands in almost 95% of the conflicts around the world.
Not one news outlet is mentioning USA was flying a drone off Russian coast.
Watch the full video before the hit the drone propeller had yellow paint on it after the hit there’s no more yellow paint on the propeller …. we are being lied to again.
US 1 week 1 rocket. Russia 1 minute 1 bucket of kerosine.
“We’ll be spying on you but it’s your fault for not letting us do that. It’s your fault for downing our drone. Please give us back our spy drone.”
-MURECA
🤔 PUTIN IS JUST 😠 BECAUSE ALL OF PUTIN PEOPLE THAT WENT TO 🇺🇦 GOT KILLED OVER PUTIN WAR BUT PUTIN WILL NOT LET HIS DAUGHTERS GO TO 🇺🇦 ? PUTIN
And the Russians again showed us, who is the Man in this neighborhood 😅
Good job russia
SU 27s also operated by Ukraine. I did not see anything to identify this aircrafts nationality.
Reminds me of “Sadam Hussein has WMDs which he can deploy in 15 minutes” or uncle tom colon powells cartoon drawings of mobile weapons facilities, or a Boeing passenger jet crashed into the Pentagon (despite no footage).As we’ve seen over the last 3 years most people will ingest & inject any garbage.
Reckless, who is the one spying on Russian, we are,rs
