#NBCNews #Russia #Drone
Russians are LIARS.
Time to give them a $32 million beating.
$32 million dollar drone? We could of used that money for the homeless.
American goverment’s lie : the real video footage showed us that the russian aircraft did not touch the 56 million dollar spy drone
1 spoon full of freedom.. prescribe until PITA Russia becomes cool Russian uncle again..
Korea kkk killer out ok
There was no reason to call Biden, the Rodney Dangerfield, and quite frankly a Third World war is probably going to happen, regardless of who was being power in the US.. As a matter fact, I believe Trump would’ve been a bigger problem, but there’s no talking to you Americans about that As the rest of the world looks on.
At this point I actually believe Russian accusations against the USA then USA accusations tbh
Converted to a submarine
We should give a decent reply to every Russian trick, and now one of the most effective reply is support from Ukraine
Russia just provokes us. We have to pay attention in Ukraine because they could do something.
I agree. Ukraine can and must win on the battlefield
U.S, will ultimately chicken out. Just wait and see.
Ground war to cyber war to drone war now Seattle light war…. everyone broke for some strange reason everyone ready to crash out…all because of the COVID shut down Wich made a domino effect on every nation economy…. like Regan said if the government disappear for three months we wouldn’t miss them
Good for them, I hope they get it.
*China* : They Popped our Ballon
1 month later
*US* : They Smashed our Drone
next month???
It wasn’t intentional LOL what clowns and cowards
What were provocateurs doing 10,000 km from their borders?
NOT INTENTIONAL MY 💩SS
and it would also be incompetent to believe 19 passes and dumping fuel on the drone was anything but intentional.
Poison against poison the Russia wanted to play game now we must return a favor back to them.
So Russia said no collision… and it was likely unintentional… are we sure something didn’t get lost in translation? Btw Of course it was intentional! These drones have killed thousands of people; flying with no transponder near a conflict zone; now lost without a shot being fired. If we are looking for reckless and incompetent people it’s not the Russian pilots; Bravo Zulu.
Jet fuel is the only air to air ordinance they have left. Weak
America is forever preoccupied with wars and rumors of war. While the country is broken at so many levels.
this is how they pay.the nord stream was blownup.
Amazing cowards always pick a fight with people smaller than them. 🇮🇶
If the US can keep the chinese balloons it shot down, then Russia should be able to keep this downed drone too. Unless you’re a bunch of hypocrites…oh wait…
Love you all
Crimea is Russia. And what was doing a drone flying near to a military base in Crimea? Reviewing, a SU27 got an intestinal problem and decide to deliver a power gas and sent to sea a US technological drone in record time. While the US took several days to shot down a Chinese balloon with a modified missile. What humiliation.
(Russian pilote deserves a medal! Certainly it was a amazing interception!)
Lindsay Graham does he has Children why not send them to Training with the Ukrainian Army then to the Front lines and patiently watch the News what happens next
Compensation, all Russia property in united states
Russia just wants to copy cat it… cheap Russians with cheap chinese plastic… should have just done a self destruction in front of the fighter jets…
I sense a lot of provoking and interfering where our nose is not supposed to be at
I hope Russia means that they accuse THE USA of provocation, not America. We Latin Americans DO NOT want to provoke Russia.
No no no, Lyndsey Graham! No! We do not need Biden to change and “up” his game. That is the last thing we need! When Biden “ups” his game, he drones innocent families in Afghanistan, or shoots down hobby balloons with hundred thousand dollar rockets. NO!
There should be a self-destruct option of the electronics systems onboard.
do we trust FAKE NEWS NBC?
WW3
cry cry millis with others cowards.
gasoline to out a drone vs millions of dollars to destroy four ALIENS baloons
the winner is gasoline 😂😂😂😂
The “BIG GUY”will apologize for them hitting the drone, and collect his 10%
Our pentagon people trying to scare the public and we love war. We are thirsty for Russian blood and Chinese blood. Granham is a blood thirsty for war, but he won’t fight, just our young men will fight. Keep pushing for WW3. We spied on the Russia and they destroy it. Our B-52 also flied really close to the Chinese border too. What are we doing? Provoke war?
Cant they just release the drone footage for proof. Not that hard…..unless someone is lying
Note propellor s changed on second video it’s yellow stripes are missing. Edited footage two different drones.
They were not sucidal jet pilots! The fuel dump was intentional! Pilot controled! The U.S. needs to retrieve the wreckage! It is U.S. property not Russia. It is prima facia evidence of what happened to the drone in addition to the fuel dump. Russia should not interfer with the United states retrival of the drone? The bosporus straight is the only way into the the black sea. The black sea is surrounded by many Russian allies. It is very shallow and will not take Russia long to retrieve it once located. 1 mile and 1/2 deep max. They want the drone. They are already there. Race for the drone. They will retrieve it or completely destroy it.
They commit to provoking Russia into WW3, good job Zionist Occupational Government.
Biden irresponsible n provoking policies will see WW3. american should rethink of voting in a puppet president controlled by arm manufacturers.
If it was over international airspace, the Russian jet had as much right to be there as the US drone. Do the media believe that the people are as gullible as that?
That’s the Biden effect.
Good for them. We’ll see what armaments it was carrying now.
It wasn’t carrying any. The video released shows empty rails.
They found it.

This round goes to Russia👍
Why do Russians defend their borders? Why US owns the Black Sea?
First of all, Crimea is Ukrainian territory. Secondly, the drone flew in international space
Crimea is Russian. Only for administration it was handled to the SSR of Ukraine by the Ukrainian leader Khruschev. Read History, please
no mention that it was in a Russian imposed ‘no fly zone’ . hmm.
LOL” a reckless and incompetent piece of aviating by the Russian Pilots”….. what the pilots did was brilliant, it wasn’t Reckless they we’re protecting their country’s security😮😢
America is a failed Empire, Russia is ending the war we started.
Lol. Lmao.
MQ9, is an attack drone and capable of electronic warfare flies with transponder OFF in Russia airspace and helping Ukraine with intelligence and attack against Russian armies since last year. The SU 27 pilot has all the legal right to shoot it down. Russia should shoot down the other USA and NATO Eletronic Warfare plane flying near Russia and Ukraine air space that helping Ukraine Nazi in the fight against Russian.
International law allowed tHe plane to fly at international airspace, US drone loitering around Russian/Crimea airspace 24 hours since last year, BUT IF THE FLIGHT ARE NOT AN INNOCENT FLIGHT BUT AS A PARTY WHO GIVING THE INFORMATION, GIVING INSTRUCTION AND INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN ATTACKING AGAINST ONE COUNTRY, ITS IS THE RIGHT OR A COUNTRY TO TAKE NECCESARY ACTION TO ELIMINATE THE THREAT.
Salute these SU 27 pilots, who dare to defend its territory against the USA and NATO bully and hegemony act. The first pilot in the world using jet urine to splash on 40 million drone. Congratulation.
Flying a drone into other’s territory and asked them not to retrieve it.
Haha 🤭
US down fighter jet drone follow record
play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
that reaper cost more to make than one of those SU-27 Flanker’s.
تمام مسعولین آمریکایی، از رییس جمهور شل مغز ودیوانه یعنی بایدن کصخل

وقتی پابرهنه های طالبان در افغانستان از دولت آمریکا باج میگیره میخوای روسیه خواهر رییس جمهور آمریکا را نگاید .
these old political cronies are going to get us all killed.
No response in the same style. Well, exactly that, since the biden administration is supposed to have “diplomacy” (they are talking, talking, talking) no wonder the US is losing its status as a world leader!!!
No DICTATORIAL COMMUNIST will have ANY RESPECT for the US if the senile biden is allowed to CONTINUE RULE!!!
Has the US not learned from the CUBA CRISIS how to deal with DICTATORIAL COMMUNISTS. It’s strange that these well dressed tie goblins in the western world NEVER LEARN FROM HISTORY, OR ARE THEY TOO BIG COWARDS TO DO WHAT´S REQUIRED OFF THEM.
No wonder when the US president biden is a person who should be sitting in a nursing home and regularly have his diapers changed, and especially with blinken who is a useless person in situations like this, where he hides his INCOMPETENCE, WILINGNESS, COWORDLYNESS with the word “diplomacy”.
AGAIN, NO WONDER THE US IS TOTALLY OVERRUN WHICH CREATES AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS WORLD SITUATION!!!
Sounds funny to say, warn Russia…
CGI BS
The Russians haven’t had to move far, it was located near the Russian military base in the Black Sea by Sevastopol. Far more to this story than already published.
always
Superb Russian flying skills 👌
A retreat without a word.
Lindsay Graham… Please Resign…before you find yourself in the joint. You are truly a sorry excuse for a human!
US has no business doing surveillance in the Black Sea. Russia already specified that area was “off limits” due to Special Military Operation.”n Wonder what Austin or Milley would do if a Russian drone was flying off Lindsey’s South Carolina beaches. Bunch of war hawks
Yes Russia did it on purpose. Russia is basically a terrorist country due to the war crimes and invasion of Ukraine. Russia is provoking WW3.
If Russians are trying to recover the remains , then they probably fell in Russian territory
Russia has problems with technology. The sanctions are working and we should only strengthen them. And Russia’s weapons are nowhere near the weapons of the Nato
You mean to tell me Lindsay Graham is not Rodney Dangerfield?
Matatan.🔥🤔🔥. Ribirin HS,
“We will have world war 3” and your children will be the first to be drafted
😂 Russia so desperate for cannibalising hardware during sanctions that they down drones for recovery. Putin getting desperate much?😅
Plot twist it a similar to pipeline
If this news was released on BBC and CNN, I wouldn’t believe it because they often tell lie.
They Will come to know that he Is JEHOVAH God almighty, for him So love the World that he gave his beloved Son Jesus Christ as a Sacrifice for all Mankind, that whoever believe in him Will not perish but live for Ever, for his Kingdom Is very very Nears, you can see It around US today that something Is wrong in the world, because Men has dominate others men to bondage and destrution, So know this that in the last days, Men Will become lovers of themseived rather than of God.
We don’t know for sure but we have videos of them stroking the flame of war.
Cool, how about US missile tests on Russian ships at the crash site?
Get Biden out of there
So ugly. — NOTICE — It is so hard to listen to NBC after all their fraudulent stories where the faked pictures, deleted words in recordings etc., in previous cases. They just sound so fake and made up that I simply cannot listen to these people.
We getting punkbwth do something about it seem like they won’t use to jump Biden is a puck and scary
USA Uk killers of the people stay away from Greece
fight your own war americans, dont be a puss hiding behind NATO
Kirby is living proof that a person can live without a brain
P ANAMA RELOCATION T OURS!! WITH JACKIE!!🙋 😊 👍 ❤👈”
What a coward this administration is, as it always happens that the Democrats are in the presidency, all the enemies take advantage of these rats
😂😂
Russia is scrambling to get their hands on a 20 year old drone
Only a moron would keep the drone flying within a war zone where Russian fighter jets are telling you 19 times to get away! Only a moron would keep the thing flying there, WHY on earth he didn’t move the drone away? Because they were collecting data from the Russians to be passed to Ukraine, and by doing so the drone became a legitimate target. What? The drone was just taking an innocent fly over a war zone, smelling the roses and admiring the scenery? That is what NATO and the Pentagon want to sell, but I don’t buy it. That was a spy drone. Remember the “Chinese spy balloon that drove you nuts? Well then you shoot it down, so your drone was shot down too. Fair is fair.
32 millions of USA tax payers now in the water . Go and get it
Present for Xi
Putin number one
why are you flying near our borders with a broken propeller?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
What’s Joke this is, obviously USA is trying to escalate and create more fear to us with this BS, To justify more of our tax money to be sent for this BS
First Joe Biden , give Afghanistan Taliban American weapons and China , And now the Russian too, they can retrieve that that information.
Has anyone else noticed something odd about video from “dron’s camera”:
1. On video, before the “picture loss”, YELLOW stripes are visible on the propeller blades.
2. On the same video after “picture loss” these YELLOW stripes are NO LONGER.
Another drone after “picture loss”?
Another fake from the Pentagon?
If America continue to fly 🕊️ n drone then Russian will continue to attack as Russian can be.
Why was the drone so close to the Crimean Peninsula? Commonsense says it was spying. As per usual, the US Government is lying.
