That Mig-29 rolling in looked like a Mako shark saddling up on a tuna and attacking.  Awesome.

That MiG pilot turned, leveled and fired a missile instead of launching it from flying steady and straight.

That vermin have good imagination: before that they claimed Russian airforce attacking their peaceful peasants with an anti-radar missile, like American HARM. They even showed the wreck of an unexploded (!!!) missile.

BTW it's a second Georgian drone lost over Abkhazia in 3 days. All this gimmicks are paid by American tax-payers, just in case you don't know. All Georgian govt gets it's salary in DoS, and it's a fact admitted by both sides. Their "armed forces" are also trained and armed by the US.

Well, at least they are good at shooting down unarmed, non-maneuvering drones!  Done their country proud!

Rock: Well that's where I got it, he's my son.
Powell: Really Rock, well I'd like to meet him.
Rock:  No ya wouldn't.

The pilot was most definitely AFK. The camera operator, he got the shot of a lifetime.

You still think that Russians sent a jet fighter to shoot down a drone?! :D A drone over a foreign territory?!

The footage is obviously a fake: Abkhazians showed a wreck while the film was shot over the sea. Anyway, what should a recon drone do over the sea? ;) Counting sardines?

I love this people in the West who believe every idiotic crap about Russia, just because we are evil and Stalin killed all the Jews as they said on History channel.

I am curious.  What was the cost of the missile compared to the cost of the UAV?

I certainly would hate to explain that to my commanding officer!  :lol

Boroda, do Russian pilots take Sundays off?  :lol :lol Even your own beloved Kremlin did not deny the incident took place. But enjoy that Cherry Kool-aid. Perhaps you'll get one of those little umbrellas with a hammar and sickle in your Kool-aid cocktail . :D

Quote
Russian Air Force Commander Alexander Drobyshevsky denied the attack, telling the Interfax news agency: "There were no flights on April 20, when the Georgian aircraft was gunned down. Air force pilots had a day off."

The Kremlin said that during his conversation with Saakashvili, Putin had "expressed his perplexity over the fact that the Georgian side is organising military flights over the conflict zone."

The Kremlin statement did not explicitly deny the incident had taken place.

The drone was shot down because it violated a cease-fire agreement between Russia and Georgia.

Dang!  Boroda on a Level One Priority Rant!

I would be all for buying some Mig 29s from Russia and selling them to Georgia to escort their drones  :lol
