It’s not clear that Russia intended to down the drone. They were certainly harassing it, but they didn’t attack it. As I recall, from watching the video and reading news reports, Russian fighters were flying extremely close to the drone, harassing it, and dumping fuel on it, etc. One of them got too close and collided with it while doing this. It’s not like they attacked the drone with weapons. They presumably easily could have. No one died. The downing may not have been intentional. Why escalate?
