I don't even have a problem with Russia knocking that drone down. I think that's just two countries bumping chests. Neither side wants it to escalate, so it won't. It sounds like maybe they were getting close to do something else and maybe hit it accidentally. Or maybe the drone closed the gap and it wasn't the jet.It's possible the drone went after the jet, which would be dumb. But maybe they may have thought, well let's just bump this jet and see what happens. You can't imagine being brave enough to knock down a drone with my plane and hope that I would get back.
