NATO just released a statement saying "Bad pilot crashes into drone. Classic element of physical comedy. Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh. READY?"

Then everyone in the room said "Ready!" And started laughing.

Those last seconds were released some time ago and I think the conjecture was that it was just footage from some flight sim.

Edit: which is confirmed by drone footage, there are no clouds underneath in the real video

It's true that that's bad news, but it has also been expected - see all the drama about Bakhmut and how it either enables massive Russian advances or moves the front line 100 meters. A breakthrough does not mean a line collapse. We're just not going to know what transpired for a while.

It also seems like Russia is creating two fairly large salients for themselves if they don't secure the city proper.

Long and short, the drone isn't much of a loss, and next time it'll likely be escorted. The idea that Russia would waste any time on bringing it down is a laughable waste.

I really don't get why they did it, this is clearly asking for escalation. Luckily NATO seems to be smart enough to not fall for this but a couple more such incidents and NATO might declare some no-fly zones and enforce them.

Looking forward to another semi-trained Russian pilot in a flying shitbox, designed 40 years ago, to start dumping fuel and flares on an MQ-9 whist an F-22 is watching 40'000 feet above, completely undetected, waiting to tear the Russian to shreds.

Two new intercepts. It seems that, as we knew from before, mobiks and mobik officers are being made to sign contracts under the so-called republics rather than with the RU MoD. Their minimum contract is 5 years. This is probably to conceal the scale of casualties or to avoid actually paying the soldiers properly, or both. The soldier casts doubt on his capability to survive five years of fighting, given the level of heavy losses. Second intercept was some woman talking to her soldier husband who was previously part of the great feint of Kharkiv. Apparently the covert mobilization has increased in force and even students and such are being taken to the front because of lack of people at the positions. So overall things aren't looking great for Russia still. Possible :nms: for mention of casualties in the first intercept.

I doubt they'd shoot anything down but they'd likely remind them to bugger off with a radar lock or something.

Escalation increases support at home and might weaken support abroad. I’m sure you can imagine the Tucker/Trump/whoever talking points in your head.

There's always the option of the US letting Ukraine know what paths their drones will fly and if a couple of Ukrainian jets happen to be up there while the Russians are dicking around with the drone, well those things happen.
