"Russian jet collides with US drone over Black Sea"
I was wondering that; what if the Su27 pilot went to 'burner but for some reason the 'burner either failed to ignite or there was a delay before it ignited pumping excess fuel out of the exhaust.
I've seen it happen when watching a jet dragster so it can happen.

As a kind of retaliation maybe just give another Batch of GLSDB to Ukraine. Everytime they do stuff like this, double the amount of Kit given to Ukraine. And let the Russians know that this will happen. That way they can themselves decide how much damage they want to incur for some fun and PR.

Except that jet dragsters don't actually have afterburners. I believe it is illegal in the U.S. for a private citizen to own one and they are removed by the military when equipment is sold. All the jet cars do is dump a bunch of extra fuel into the exhaust stream for visual effect.
Actually, the afterburner trick is getting the damn thing to light on demand, match in a hurricane, so to speak. However, the dumping is usually separate as has been discussed and fairly standard on jets in order to reduce weight if necessary to land back soon after takeoff.
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...

I doubt the US would send much a presence there anyways. Too much risk of escapism for not much gain.
As a reminder, the RAF started providing fighter cover for their Rivet Joint flights in the area after a Russian fighter launched an AAM in their direction last October.

It's a useful reminder that every single Russian statement should be assumed to be a lie by default. What a messed up culture!
In Russian culture a distinction is drawn between two kinds of lies, vranyo and lozh which do not have exact parallels in English. Vranyo has been claimed as uniquely Russian, and seems to consist of telling untrue but credible stories, a practice not condemned by those who recognize what is going on. Indeed, for success in vranyo-telling, there must be a listener who pretends to believe in the truth of what is being said. [...] Lozh, on the other hand, implies a conscious intention to deceive.
"A Russian friend explained vranyo this way: ‘You know I’m lying, and I know that you know, and you know that I know that you know, but I go ahead with a straight face, and you nod seriously and take notes."
I am unsure of the corresponding (American) English or (British) English equivalent of vranyo or lozh …… or, am I vranyo-telling.

As I recall the “Western World” was very outraged by the event. Including most people in the USA.

Fuel will snuff out a turbine engine or even cause it to explode. Ask any old A4 drivers what happens when a burst of fuel goes down the intake. I have no idea what you mean by visual marker as the fuel will dissipate in a few seconds and the drone is moving.

The fuel dump was quite clearly an attempt to down the drone in an only semi- violent way. So that there would be no trace of explosives / shrapnel. I wonder if they forgot that these drones have cameras.
They did try to shower the drone in a way that it gets ingested into the engine. The first one was close miss.

I do wonder whether, if the operators still had control authority, they tried to glide it within range of land-based anti-shipping missiles
