Well, a real close and hot flyby would be all it would take. The wake turbulence would probably cause structural failure, or at a minimum, loss of control resulting in an impact with terrain!

#7  Planes to intercept a drone? I wonder if they used cannon to blast it. Anything larger and it would have been turned to a fine mist.

Maybe they can raise and train falcon to attack and take down drones. Maybe give them metal spurs like a fighting cock. Open one of those suckers up like a can opener.

#3  So I wonder, what exactly was used to shoot this drone down. Cannon seems to be a bit too difficult with such a small target and so that means they used a missile of some kind.

I imagine the pilot that shot it down is lording it over his buddies too, being the only one with an air to air kill for this entire conflict.

#2  I wonder where it came from? Chinese or Russian? This opens more questions about Hez support. I hope they publish the country it came from.
