If it wasn't really really hard, she wouldn't blow it.
Unless it was armed. Or suddenly flew into the jets’ path. Ever try to turn a car at 50mph vs 5mph? At which speed is easier to avoid a collision?
Sorry, no ‘benefit of the doubt’ for USA here. Lied far too often already on more than there is room here to recount, but in particular what actually is happening in Uke-land.
My guess is the drone was out surveilling the russkies to help the Ukes, got spotted and harassed by the russkies with them pissing jet fuel all over the drone, and then got in the way of the much harder to turn jet’s flightpath to collide with it. Lucky the jet wasn’t downed.
Oh yes, slow down your fighter jet its minimum flight speed in a war zone. Probably not.
The most laughable response was from EUCOM who was concerned of the environmental impact.
Yes, we are on the verge of nuclear war with a degenerate chomo leading the “free world” and the biggest concern is the environmental impact.
The dreaded sternly worded letter?
Great photo, with U2 shadow even

I believe your guess is correct, so far. And I have no "benefit of the doubt" for the USA here.
We were doing something the Russians did not like and they did something to stop it. I do not believe it was luck that prevented damage to the Russian craft. I believe they maneuvered in front of the drone and dropped a cloud of something that was intended to disable it.
I doubt very much that they clipped the propeller with any part of their aircraft. That reeks of a cover story to make the Russians look less competent. Merely propaganda spin. It is dangerous for us to believe our own propaganda.
The game goes on. We will send more drones. The Russians will experiment with ways to down them that are inexpensive and have plausible deniability.
I do not feel outrage over any of it.
The game ends with Ukraine beating the Russians. Or maybe with the Russians beating Ukraine. I cannot really tell just yet. The political leadership of either the USA or Russia will be replaced as a consequence of the outcome.
Interesting times.
You know what? I think I will trust the skill and judgment of the fighter pilots over either myself or you.
It is international airspace the US claims. If they want to turn the skies over the Black Sea in a war zone, they can do that with a single missile shot. Might regret the choice though.
On the international stage the U.S. Department of State became nothing but joke when that ignorant Arkansas hillbilly was there, and it has been viewed as a sick joke ever since!
” the USA is effectively running the Ukraine war.”

If the citizens of America and America’s allies would take time to envision the holocaust that would envelop them should the Biden regime’s ineptness trigger a nuclear war, millions of them would be in the streets DEMANDING a complete and immediate disengagement from the war in Ukraine. If Trump is elected for the third consecutive time, he will order that disengagement immediately. Pray that it is not too late!
The political leadership of either the USA or Russia will be replaced as a consequence of the outcome.

Or perhaps both!
