This was a very Russian and unprofessional move. I just wonder what can be done to take down the Russian jet along with the drone.
US F15s took down a Mi-24 Hind that shot unarmed civilians in Iraq by flying close to it and blinding the crew with onboard lasers. They weren't allowed to engage. The USAF promptly reacted by banning any flights below 3000 m.
