Which more or less means fly quickly and closely to an object- But it doesn’t mean make contact with. At least not as I understand this term** > The Pentagon released video footage Thursday from a U.S. MQ-9 drone that crashed in the Black Sea on Tuesday **showing a Russian jet buzzing** and dumping fuel on it and ***`apparently`*** damaging the drone’s propeller. **Apparently- the use in this sentence implies a connection that may or may not be an actual connection. But gives an impression of connection** > **The declassified footage shows a Russian Sukhoi-27 jet flying very close to the unmanned surveillance aircraft** > > **“The U.S. said one of the Russian jets collided with the drone, also known as a Reaper”** **I have my doubts about this because I’d expect way more damage then one little propeller blade.** > **At the end of the 42-second clip, after the video feed resumes, the MQ-9 drone’s propeller appears bent. In a summary released alongside the video, the Pentagon said “the propeller can be seen again and one of the props can be seen damaged.”** > **The footage doesn’t show an exact moment of collision, though it does show a Sukhoi flying directly toward the drone and coming into almost immediate contact, before the video feed is scrambled.** **So we have a drone being buzzed. With nothing showing impact or collision. And if there was impact or collision, I’d think there would be more damage than to “one of the props”** . ***Wanted to include an excerpt from Mark Finnegan’s comment*** > Mark Finnegansays: > [March 16, 2023 at 8:47 pm](https://pennyforyourthoughts2.ca/2023/03/16/pentagon-releases-drone-footage/#comment-2207)•[Edit](https://pennyforyourthoughts2.ca/wp-admin/comment.php?action=editcomment&c=2207) > “Whatever happened Russian message sent and publicly received and no loss of life.”
