I don't think there is a lot of fuss over this. No one I know is talking about it. We are because we are aviation geeks.

Having reviewed the footage I think it was `cock up` by the Russian pilots behaviour that brought down the drone.
I believe he was trying to bring it down but his closure rate was way too fast. Hew...

Irrelevant in this discussion. It's still a valid combat tactic to down a drone with fuel if that works. After all Spitfires and Typhoons used their wings to destroy V1's and were given those V1's as...

Bbc news reporting Russian jets dumped fuel in front of the drone and damaged its prop forcing it down.
