Just look at the shallow mentality of my fellow nairalanders.If Russian attacks this second drone,USA will retaliate by using economic war (more sanctions) or hacking their websites like the way Trump did to Iran,totally ban their imports and exports,totally withdraw the license of their Russian companies.Putin can eat all his nuclear weapons

You cannot unilaterally impose sanctions on a nation and expect them to work; this is why sanctions against Iran, Russia, and North Korea haven't worked. What sanctions can the US afford to dish out when, in fact, two major banks and many regional banks have collapsed? Sanctions are also affecting US airlines; they have to charge more for travelers from Asia, whereas Emirates and other Middle Eastern airlines charge less, giving them an unfair advantage. The West is heading towards major collapse because trust in their system is lost. I hope you have learnt a thing or two today.

Ketamine9000mg:
US and the entire Europe are afraid of Russia.

Just making excuses.

Or they are testing their new weapons on Russian soldiers, why haven't Russia captured the weak Ukraine after their 6 weeks fluff And bluff?

I actually thought I was discussing with a rare Nigerian. Didn't know I was dealing with an average Nigerian (simple minded)

You are referring me to the same Google filled with western media that reported that the drone crashed due to collision?

When does dumping of fuel on a drone equate collision?

Does dumping of fuel = collision?

Please memorize the word HIT this time around.

See my response to you so far as a big honor, you do not deserve 2 secs of my time.

Gosh you're truly a dumbo... Like WTF!! I remember I specified that it wasn't a physical or one on one collision.

A collision in this context refers to the jamming between the propeller and engine. And it was caused by the fuel dump by the Russian jet

Guy...abeg continue with your naivity. U seem incurable... I got better things to do. It's not my fault u can't read and understand

LtChisom:


So the mq- reaper is stealthy?
Dey play with your mumu, and congratulations to that.

Reaper drones are in no way stealthy

The embarrassing downing of u.s drones by Iran is the Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel and
Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk

Jeromejnr:


Supposing he does it, what will happen? I ask you.

If he downs another drone, nothing will happen, these are unmanned drones, so if the US wants to declare a war based on that, that would be madness. NATO Article cant be invoked against a nuclear power like Russia... They know the consequences. Everyone all over the world know that the US and its allies are all hypocrites that is why they have not being able to solve a lot of conflicts around the world, they cant be trusted. That is why North Korea keeps launching medium and long range missiles everyday. Right now, North Korea has that can hit anywhere in the Asia pacific Region including the United States.

Masterviolence:

But you just said that despite them being stealthy that they were downed?
You were actually praising those that downed it because it is in stealth mode like it is a big deal downing a drone?

shegzhkn:

Lol, let say ur assertion is true.
So an energy superpower like Saudi Arabia (Swing producer) is buying Russia gas cos it cheap just like her eye service allies (India & China), they don't give a fúck about the tyrant - it just all about benefiting from his folly.

just because a country produces huge amounts of gas(or any other natural resources) doesn’t exclude them from importing same.

somehow:


Mr smartpants, why didn't the Russian jet crash due to the collision?

Can a Keke napep crash a hilux van from body bouncing/collision?

I pray you give a close to smart response this time around.

Go and look up the word dogfight.
Jets are designed for rigorous maneuvering, with strict compliance with aerodynamics. They can glide and 'pan'. They aren't built for extreme convenience like airliners. Their center of gravity can adjust flexibly with every move, due to symmetric designs for balancing at any altitude.

So yeah, a jet can mischievously 'brush up' a drone to steer it off course or destabilize it entirely and cause it to crash, because of its design. Drones aren't designed that way. Moreover it was a surveillance drone.

You Putin guys are generally reckless and can't learn easily. I just discovered most Putin lovers are impatient and very reactive in nature. They seek instant result and validation.
Sometimes being stupid could be by choice. Being a Putin supporter against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine is an example.

iykofias:
it wasn’t shot down, no bullet or missile was wasted, just close marking the $30million drone fell off

Close marking indeed... Guy read again. U Putin bots have comprehension issues

seunny4lif:

USA biggest allies are Qatar, Saudi, Kuwait, Israeli and UAE yet those countries are known as sponsor, and supporter of well known Terrorist Organizations.
USA is the biggest terrorist Organization in the world, they are responsible for the death of over 5M people since WW2 ended.
Every major conflict in the world have USA hand printed in it directly or indirectly, either through Regime change.
All the terrorists in Syria was funded by NATO(USA) and its allies to overthrow Assad, but thanks to Russia it failed

Aren't you tired of this, get a new material.
The US stands for democracy, human right & dignity and defend not just it interest but values abroad, what did you think the world will be like without the US ??

Context.

Did the drone crash due to the hitting by the jet or due to the pouring fuel on it?

A naive person up there said it crashed due to the latter and not due to the former.

The joke is on you my friend.

MetroLane:


Don't mind those Dumb Donkeys.

They said the reason US didn't take action is because Russia said it was a mistake.

Since when did US start forgiving Mistakes.

Since it's Russia they'll accept it as a mistake, but if it was Libya they'd have sent their whole troops to rain fire.

These US fan boys are incredibly and marvelously stupid... I don't even want to call Russia sef, North Korea will shoot down US drone and nothing will happen.

Putin ati Kim Jong , wan ya werey gan....Dem no send any body papa.

Russia doesn't even say it was a mistake, I don't know where they're getting their sh*t information from...

God1000:
Bakhmut fight is very crucial to Ukraine, they can't just pull out from the region.

The main strategic purpose is to use the battle to weaken Russia's army in bakhmut.

To answer your second question, I do see the true reality from all sides.

But as a decent human being, i simply can't support Putin's barbarism

How is Russia weakened when its ex convicts recruited by Wagner that has surrounded Bakhmut. Even the West has advised Zelensky to forget about Bakhmut and withdraw but he stubbornly refused and now they are accusing him of wasting artillery that should have been used for their planned spring offensive now that the weather is getting warm

USA stand for value
Same value, she can't gave her citizens

Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, and over 20 countries have destroyed are really enjoying the the democracy

LtChisom:

According to a senior officer of the u.s air force "It's the same concept as [the RQ-3] DarkStar, it's stealthy"
So, Yes it is a big deal to down a stealth drone not by Russia or china, but by Iran who no one thought had that capability.
Mind you I'm not in any way a supporter of Iran

Pearl Harbor attack was Japan's greatest mistake in history. Japan was once in charge of China until that Japan's mistake. Soviet was not winning until US join the war. Also, US assisted Russia through the lend and lease agreement. Please read history properly by credible authors/historians not Google blog.

BentizilL:

Which mistake Japan made in the past?
All major power exclude Germany face Japan in the second world war, even the Soviets(Russia) join the war in the East after destroying Germany in Europe...

So wtf are you saying...

I will continue to repeat, Hitler greatest mistake was invading Soviet Union.. He could've been unstoppable with a neutral Soviet or ally... 💯

using mercenaries or regular soldiers can't help Putin at this point.


I just like the patriotism of zelensky, he's ready to defend every inch of Ukraine's territory.

Withdrawal means defeat

seunlayi:


Because of that visa rejection? You can still try, USA have no bad blood.
Laslas try to apply for a Russia visa

Africa youths with suffer head, all una own no pass visa.
Even Indians, Brazilians and South Africans never focused on getting visas like Nigerians

BentizilL:

That's their excuse for not being able to do anything......

But they know the truth, whether it was a mistake or not, US can't do anything.

With all the 14000 sanctions, one will think Russia would've crumbled by now.

Honestly I really pity Ukraine because they are not yet a member of NATO, yet NATO is using them as a puppet to fight Russia. How many Ukrainian citizens have lost their lives? a lot.

The countries under NATO are not losing their citizens like Ukraine, but they keep using Ukraine to achieve their objectives.

God1000:
Let's see if Putin will dare shoot down another US drone, US is ready for his madness


Meanwhile we've entered another phase of Russia-Ukraine war with Slovakia and Poland sending fighter jets to Ukraine.

Dey dciev urself.
Russia nva said USA shld nt fly drones ova d black Sea.
Wat dey shld nt do is ovastep deir boundaries.if dey do d drone would b shot down,nd notin will happen.

Even d USA will nt make mouth d same way ur making here. U tink say war na b mouth?

Antiochus:


It's a NATO vs Russia war now dear with over 14 thousand sanctions on Russia yet Russia is still standing and fighting on. Macron is visiting China next month to beg President Xi to appeal to Putin to end the war. They have now realised that no amount of weapon they send to Ukraine will change anything.

Nothing to be afraid of russia,it's just the carrot and stick approach that the world is using

seunny4lif:

Get a map before calling Ukraine a small nation.
Over 30 countries are supporting and funding Ukraine.
Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe behind Russia.
USA alone have spent over 100B last alone to help Ukraine against Russia, yet same USA can't provide free healthcare and free college for USA citizens while Russia is not only winning but Russia have free healthcare, and free college.
If USA is so strong why don’t they declare no fly zone over Ukraine like they did in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya.
Syria war exposed USA and NATO but Ukraine war sealed it, that gulf nations that always back USA refused.

Saudi and UAE are importing Russia oil like no tomorrow.
Japan since January have started importing Russia oil, making same Japan that want price cap on Russia oil, ran back to Russia because Saudi oil is too expensive for Japanese companies

That's a flimsy excuse shebi russia is the most powerful nation on earth

Antiochus:


A country fighting a 28 member/NATO bloc with over 14k sanctions and it is still fighting though a sane human being would expect the progress to slow but Russia is still soldering on while NATO stockpile keeps dwindling. US the superpower that fought alongside allies in its past wars still performed woefully. Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan are all scars for the US who can't fight alone but would always invite allies to fight with her unlike Russia who fights alone.

That's flimsy excuse shebi russia is the most powerful nation on earth

For unarmed drone
Your IQ is dead

What is Pooreeyo saying again.
Your military asset represents your symbol of power and pride so when a nation shoots it down it like a blow to you. In 2011 when Iran jammed and captured a US drone. US had to take the case to UN and demand Iran release the drone.

In 2019 Iran shot down the most expensive aircraft in US arsenal the global hawk drone. It was a blow to America come and see US reaction then may be you were in JSS2 then so it's possible you've not heard what I am saying before now.

Your IQ is the dead and rotten one pooreeyo.

Jeromejnr:


Supposing he does it, what will happen? I ask you.

Point is, when did the US started giving warnings to countries that downed their drones 😅
Russia is old in the game! Beating the US in their game.
They downed the drone without actually shooting at it. They made it look like it’s an accident that’s badass!
