Such a small amount of footage. Not enough to get a true picture of what happened.
If the the Russian pilots were so effective in such a short time, they are truly magnificent. (Speaking as an ex-pilot myself)
- lttlrck 4y agoEnough to see there was collision... the propellor was bent.
- simonblack 4y agoIf you can fly so finely that you can bend one propeller blade and not damage any tail fins in the process, you're a far better pilot than I could ever dream of being. Then again, we don't know what other damage there was, because nothing was shown. And why is the propeller blade bent the wrong way? It should be bent backwards, not forwards. (Propeller was shown as spinning anti-clockwise in first part of video, so it should be bent to the left instead of to the right in the second part)

- _Wintermute 4y agoI can't imagine the plan was to actually collide. For the propeller reversing direction, that's a common optical illusion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect
- simonblack 4y agoIt's a pusher-prop, You can see the way the blades are pitched (facing) for forward propulsion. Even the best planes don't fly backwards.
- _kbh_ 4y ago> If the the Russian pilots were so effective in such a short time, they are truly magnificent. (Speaking as an ex-pilot myself) Im not sure thats the right conclusion, I think it's far more likely the pilot was super lucky and accidentally hit the drone.
