As far as footage goes, this really is remarkable.
The U.S. military has declassified footage showing the moment a Russian fighter jet collides mid-air into one of its drones.
In the 42-second clip, the Su-27 Flanker jet can be seen dumping fuel as it passes close to the drone, a type of harrying that U.S. experts say they have not seen before. The damaged propeller causes the U.S. Air Force to down the drone into the Black Sea, senior Russian officials have said they hope to salvage it.
