- voakbasda 4y agoThe harassment was intentional. Making a “mistake” during an intentional act does not suddenly wipe away that root intention.
- ericmay 4y agoWe don’t know that it was or wasn’t intentional. Harassing the drone is a problem to start with, running into it intentionally or not an extension of the core problem. Whether it was an accident or not probably isn’t much of a difference. Safer to assume it was intentional since we’d never get the truth out of the Russians. Good news is that incidents like this will increase US military support for Ukraine.
- Ruthalas 4y agoAccording to the article: >Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner. That seems more intentional than a simple fly-by anyway.
