Well, to this non-aviator, the flying as shown is immensely impressive. I mean, a jet approaching a drone heads-on and turning a few yards away? Russian military might not be all that popular on the english speaking internet at this time, but credit were credit is due -- mad respect for that pilot's skill.
- mint2 4y agoIt’s not head on, the jet is already turned to pull away but the pilot either misjudged distance a bit or intentionally did it. Because they’re pulling away the collision is at a low relative velocity
- chiph 4y agoIt's not head-on. The MQ-9 is a pusher-prop design (the prop is in the rear), so both aircraft were flying in the same direction. If there had been a direct collision, the impact velocity would have been the difference between them, not addition.
- guenthert 4y agoAh, right, thanks.
