I get it. You are ignorant and you are applying the "God of the gaps" type theory to account for your ignorance.

just trying to be helpful to illustrate, first hand, how physics affect things that are directly attached to each other

your loss if you don't wish to follow the science

This is really being pushed. Poor American victims, the Russians assaulted their poor innocent drone that was just out there far away from America spying and minding its own business.

ZH have the video's, I'm sure you've already seen it on twitter so I don't know why you are triggered by them now? Where did ZH hurt you?

Xarog was interesting. To bad he is gone
 
Possible Geolocation (around 44°23'38.7"N 32°57'09.2"E) with Sevastapol in the background.

is it just me or do the propellers on the drone change pattern?

I see yellow stripes, then I don't

Red marker that position

View attachment 1493731


Is like 7 vessels bunched up over by the yellow marker(classed as tugs & special craft) don't know if related to this or not

Saw another geolocate attempt here

I'm not sure about the MQ-9s glide ratio, but the older MQ-1 had a glide ratio of 23:1 (which I always thought was a low estimate). So I'm going to assume the MQ-9 would be a little better with its longer wingspan. So if the stated altitude of 19000ft is correct then an MQ-1 (and therefore the MQ-9 too) would have been able to glide around 133km without power. So it's quite possible that it would of crashed around the yellow marker.

the camera footage itself would move if the drone that it is attached to was hit

it doesn't just magically lose the feed without showing any jarring at all, that is simply too convenient coming from a nation that held up a vial of white powder to drag the UN into wars in the past

Stabilized gimbals are modern marvels of engineering aren't they. The single axis fiber optic IMU's combined, with the control circuitry and moter drivers do a bang up job of keeping the gymbal stable. We should also remember that the reaper is almost the same size as the Su that struck it.

something with 6 times the takeoff weight of the drone hits it while going significantly faster than it, allegedly breaking a prop blade in the process, and you reckon image stabilizing will save the day :ROFL:

Yes I do since I used to build them.

and in testing you knocked them with a 33 ton fighter jet at speed?

Hanged them on a pendulum at the bottom of a balloon / placed them on a shaker during qualification / screwed around with them on my desk which is way worse than what the impact video suggests. The bottom line is if a modern optical system doesn't loose power, is damaged or hit the end stops it will point at what you pointed it at regardless of what the platform does since it is in the design specifications. The reaper could have gone inverted or ended up in a flat spin but depending on the last settings (fixed position / fixed rate or GEO positioned) it would have kept doing it.
 
Yeah that's a hit from the Russian plane, not surprised Russian simps will deny and deflect with usual Kremlin approved propaganda.
