You think it’s hard for a jet to take out a drone?

LOL, I'm talking about the "unconventional" way they took it down, and the US response is whining about it being environmentally unsound and unprofessional...can we sound any weaker.

Not their fault? Yeah, sure. The Russians are such lying sacks-of-$hit that if one of them told me that Night was dark and Day was light, I'd get a second opinion.

It's not about how much technology they have access to. They simply don't have the production to keep up. They have far, far, far less super advanced military hardware than we do. Most of their military hardware is very dated, and they just don't have the means to modernize their entire military.

Nahhh... they're pretty good... after all... they're the Second-Best Army in Ukraine...

Warning. These are official Russian news sources.

Russia claims they took the drone out, because the US provoked them with a spy drone, operating it with transponders off in a previously-announced "special military operation zone."

I like to read all the stories from all the propaganda sources, and come to my own conclusions.

No, but dumping fuel on the drone would take considerable skill given the difference in airspeed each vehicle is flying.
