In the video and a U.S. military statement released Thursday, the Russian jetfighter is seen approaching the drone, before it twice releases unspecified liquid, which the statement said was fuel while passing the drone.
Then, at 29 seconds into the video, the Russian warplane is seen crashing into the MQ-9 Reaper drone. The images go off until the 60-second mark, then the feed gets reestablished and one of the drone's propellers is seen visibly damaged.
