give it time
stuff like crossing flight path at just meters, dumping fuel onto the aircraft, and wing-clipping the propeller like they did to crash it, isn't some rogue pilot being a douche bag with a fighter jet, these are carefully orchestrated tests to gauge a NATO response to further russian agression outside of ukraine's borders, this data will be used to try and guess how they will respond to an actual attack outside ukraine, or vastly increased aggression inside ukraine.
I think NATO has responded well, with UK and German jets covering the airspace while the US navy recovers the reaper drone.
We could totally run our own air cover for the operation, but this sends a clear message: "When we said article 5, we
really meant article 5"
its so obvious, if some pilot had done this without approval all the way up to the kremlin, he would experience some "troubles" upon arrival back at base.
yet our media carries the narrative of "a pilot's unprofessional behavior"
bs gtfo its a study the enemy operation ordered by the kremlin.
