How a Russian Cold War-Era Jet Took Down a US Drone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2024
- Just this March 14th, 2024, a Flanker made headlines again for forcing down a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Black Sea, earning it a badass nicknamed” Reaper Killer.” According to US reports, the incident began with what appeared to be a standard patrol by the Reaper. The situation quickly turned aggressive, with one Flanker engaging in harassing maneuvers, including flying in front of and dumping fuel on the drone. This dangerous escalation culminated in a collision, damaging the Reaper's propeller and forcing the US to bring it down.
This wasn't a random event. It serves as a perfect reminder of the Flanker's impressive history and its continued relevance in today's world.
Developed to directly compete with the F-15, the Flanker's origins even involve a dash of Cold War intrigue: rumors of Soviet espionage swirled around its design.
Let’s take a deep dive into the story of this legendary fighter jet, from its mysterious beginnings to its enduring role as a symbol of Russian airpower. Stay tuned!

Wrong, Su-27 is not just about power. It's aerodinamics and coresponding manouverability are pretty much unmatched for a plane this size.
What? This happened on March 14 2023, a year ago, not a month ago. Google 2023 Black Sea drone incident.
I think America claimed it happened again.
this guy wants views. Anyway to much talk to make video longer and waste our time with the same video as a year ago. Shame of you
No they didn’t lol the US accuses people with receipts everyone else just says shit lol

Pissing on the enemy got a new whole meaning.
Perhaps the Russians should start flying drones around the Mexican gulf, just off the coast of Florida. Just to see how we would respond. Chances are, that we will respond with a whole lot more than just jetfuel
A superb idea. Freedom of Navigation, over and on international waters, should be exercised by Russia, China, and Iran in the Gulf of Mexico. Right up to, but never crossing, the territorial coastal waters of the U.S.

Hey but you are transgender. Easy to defeat! 😂😂
Last time they did that, americans were building a lot of fall out shelters.
It didn't cause a collision; the jet fuel caused the Reaper's composite propeller blades to deform.
Agreed, the collision story is a Western narrative designed to try to make Russia look stupid.
it did not even needed a missile to down that drone
nice hack...
So exactly what "combat" has the F-15 seen ???
Throwing bombs on weddings in Afghanistan I assume or something of that nature

Sorry but, I'm not impressed. A MiG-17 can take down a Reaper drone and with only guns. It's only a drone and it can't fight back.
Yeah.. this channel has attracted the biggest misinformed and biased dummies on the internet. One guy was going on about how the F-22 is less capable, and another guy said the MQ-9 is more expensive than Su-27 when they’re about the same baseline.
F22 is only expensive nothing special so why did usa pulled Back
F22 invisible my as like f 117 most modern expensive plane at that time shoot down by old soviet stur from small serbia 😆😆
The pilot only use 50 gallons of gas, not a $500,000 air to air missile that the US use to shot down a Chinese balloon. Just saying.
I doubt it was 50 gallons
That was only because he had no other way to down it. Russian weapons suck.
Wrong. He missed 2 times. So it's 3 000 000$
The russians piping on you haha no need weapons
@@aa11ff No. The Russians just wanted the drone to be in one piece that's why they use less destructive means. The jet fuel actually burned the drone's engine that's why it landed down to the Black sea. The Russian retrieved the drone in immaculate condition. Of course everyone in the family is interested to know so the information is shared to their circle of friends like Iran, China and North Korea. "That's what friends are for". It's a song. My hyperbolic hypothesis. Just saying. 😄😄😄😄
That pilot is super skilled
Pulling stunts on an unmanned drone flying a linear path no less. Very skilled indeed
Yes, imagine what the Russian pilot could have done with a glider or maybe a paper airplane.
Common question got to ask,what American drone doing in black sea thousand mile from America?
Isn't the F16,F15, and F22 a cold war planes
Still don't understand why you use Cold war-era as a synonymous for really old, meanwhile in reality the cold war ended "just" 32 years ago
Exactly. Most US military jets are cold war era.
@diIbert Also the Abrams, USA's mbt was made during Cold war-era, but it has the nomea of being one of the best tanks in the world
and that seems recent to you?
@@joanesp100 The F15 and f16 are cold-war era so probably yes
What he forgets to say is that f15 an f16 are cold war era as well.

@@mikejones6065 What kind of migs? You've run out of electricity
And amerikan uses to fire hi tech missiles from f22 to shut down a simple balloon😂😂😂 moral of the story, f-22 is a belloon killer 😉🤭
Russia used a cheap Su-27 and actually damaged their own aircraft trying to harass an MQ-9. The F-22 is much more expensive to repair by doing stupid stunts. Meanwhile, the US operates with professionalism compared to Russia, so they chose to to properly shoot it down instead.
Also, some general wanted to use this as a PR move to flex on China with a fancy F-22. They chose the AIM-9X in order to shoot down the balloon because firing the 20mm cannon would destroy the target, and whatever was beyond the target, including civilians on the ground. A missile would bring it down in a controlled manner, minimizing collateral damage, so it’s not really as big of a deal as you think it is.
What else are they gonna use? A giant sling shot!?!?!

@@TDS1108GamingOur corrupt/incompetent govt allowed a Chinsese Spy Balloon to fly across the Pacific, across Alaska (while it circled military bases) cross Canada then cross into the continental US where the balloon flew over and circled military bases. Instead of using weather balloon retrieval planes or a shooting the balloon down over remote land where we could study the captured equipment they waited till it crossed the entire nation. Then they had to use TWO missiles to shoot it down bc they missed it with the first one. The balloon landed in the ocean thereby destroying all the electronic equipment. A staggering display of treason and incompetence

I love this guy channel. My take on this information is he confirmed that good engineering work will surely service well for a long time.
A very skilled pilot-
This channel is confusing at times. And isnt 100% accurate. Do more research please! I subscribed to this channel for good content. Not false info.
Curious, what was wrong in this video?
@@olliefoxx7165 the thumbnail by itself is deceptive imagery. You don't use missles on things that aren't beyond the horizon.
yes, indeed
@@olliefoxx7165That and the fact he stated in March 2024. Last month? No.... A year ago this happened. And it's not this video alone. In the past year it's gotten bad. Video and info are months more behind. Like when RUF can take Avdiivka? I'm sure they're (this channel) trying like hell and fell behind to get the vids out for whatever reason, idk. It's not the end of the world, but with little things incorrect in videos and now seemly behind schedule, it's just adding up is all I guess.
These little errors are likely due to rushing, again it's not horrible, but I think as well they've gotten more biased towards Russia rather than before, say a year ago or so and before it was just stated info, now people are complaining it seems they've gotten a bit biased and likely it's all because the push for YT to demonetize videos for "Pro Russian" views, even if it's just basic facts about Russia or facts the war in Ukraine. If your point is making RUF look bad then you might be facing little to no adds in ur vid. This isn't me saying this, it's others and other channels even ones that aren't literally "Pro Russian" just "Pro No BS about the war". There is a difference regardless if others think so or not.
@ReeksOfLies I know UA-cam is controlled by the US govt and they are extremely pro Ukraine. That's a fact. This channel may be getting strikes or other types of Censorship bc its not putting out the type of content they prefer. I know the pro Ukrainian channels do not face the type of Censorship that independent channels experience. My point is, there may be things going on behind the scenes we dont know about that affects the content we see. I know you alluded to that possibility, I'm just elaborating as to what may be happening.
I just want to watch content that's sincere/genuine and isn't propaganda trying to indoctrinate us. No one is perfect and even independent channels will have a bias at times.
I remember the outrageous lies we were told about the Iraq/Afghanistan wars. Back then I believed the govt and didn't know the media was just a tool they used to manipulate us. After seeing those lies get exposed in a variety of ways over the years I learned to stop "focusing on the leaf" so I could "see the forest". You are right to expect consistency and accuracy. We must demand higher quality content if we want to see things improved. I say we also refuse to live the echo chambers the establishment keeps trying to put around us.
Great script and production. Subscribed and a thumbs up.
F-15 is not a STREAK eagle, it's a STRIKE eagle.
Strike Eagle is the multirole Variant.
While the Standard Eagle is an Air Supremacy aircraft, and a Missile truck, with the recent F-22EX being able to carry 22 missiles.
Though let's hop Boeing doesn't cock it up
The 'Streak Eagle' was a specially lightened F-15 that set a climb record in 1975.
Cold war jet down drone wow even ww2 plans can down drones in the right hands
i wouldnt compare a f15 to su27, more like a su34, the Russians found it better to pair a su 34 and su 35 together to get a better result against AA systems
The F-16 is also a "cold war-era" jet, this doesn't mean evrything in these planes is 40 years old.
True, and depends on how much up to date the Variant is.
The current version of the Su-27 on duty is the SM2 or SM3, being equipped with the same IRBIS-E radar as the Su-30SM, Su-35 and Mig-31K, which has twice the range of those F-16s that are Ukraine-bound.
Imagine a Russian drone flying from Cuba over the Gulf of Mexico ...
That drone could have been shot down by a WW2 era Yak-3.
That's the most beautiful bird 🐦 I've ever seen
Bro I want what u are smoking. This Thing where the SU-27 took down the MQ9 happened 1 year ago on the 14th March of wait for it 2023*.
🤣🤣
Yeah, it was a year ago and all it did was accidentally crash into it. Mighty plane indeed.
It didn't shoot it down, it basically took a piss on it, clipped it and forced it down. Nobody said the Reaper was shot down, what are you smoking?
@@mewmog i couldnt care less about how it crashed into the MQ9. But the amount of proofreading by the channel editor is so poor that general googling can yield a far better answer. This channel is slowly going bad.
@@williamolekson9113 there edited now ya happy?
This happened back in 2023 🧐
Well think about it the American drone. Every time the global hawk is in the sky about one hour later nato forces hit one of the black sea fleet or something important. Its every single time without fail.
There I fully agree
NATO forces??? So you recognize it as legal if Russia strikes NATO countries? And yes, what you wrote is just your wet dreams. If this were true, then the Ukrainians would have been fighting on Russian territory a long time ago.
This is OOOLLLDDD news...
soo, if a vehicle from the 80-90s and russian its cold-war era, if its from usa or nato then its state of the art modern advanced ect.
dont forget leopard 2, challenger 2, abrams, f-16 all were designed and built in the 80s, old outdated vehicles
It is the USA who escalate tension by this stupid move.
Russia and China had Naval drills off the coast of Alaska, welcome to normal
what are you talking about the maneuverability NOT being Sukhoi's priority???? It can do maneuvers that eagle can never do? What about 2 axis vectorized thrust? Stop saying stupid things that you haven't checked.
I'd be more concerned if you couldn't take a reaper drone out with a su27
Russia is running out of 21 century crafts
The F15 has over 100 air to air kills for no lose. the Su 27 has one ripper kill. no contest.
Waw taking a reaper dowm. I am blown away
What a beautiful aircraft
Russian su27 pilots get plenty of flight time along long and inhospitable borders while the sepos do it all on sims to save money. The russians use tractors with a titanium frame while sepos use light and fast aircraft with high cost maintenance.
Get the date right if you're going to produce videos.
What is the f15 undefeated against exactly?
That's a very good question
F-15 could match Su-27? Is this a sign of faith or of ignorance? When you will learn your good airplanes? From the past: F-16, F-14 Tomcat, A-10 ... From modern ones, only F-22 and good bombers.
6:12 Streak Eagle?!!!
I'm pretty sure that ~80 to 90% of the US fleet is 'Cold War era', lol
Die Reaper hatte dort nichts zu suchen. Wie weit war sie von den US- Staaten unterwegs? Wer sich in Gefahr begibt, kommt darin um. Weiss jeder Tourist, der ein Selfie macht und abstürzt.
Reaper is a big, slow, with any capability to scape or manouver..I cant see any " miracle" in shoot down such modern zeppelin
Awesome looking jet
While the f22 downs only chinese balloons 😂😂😂
This may be a recycled event from 2023, but it has me thinking, why waste all that fuel? The SU-27 has Gsh-30. U.S: Russia why did you shoot our drone down? RU: We didn't, our pilot accidently bumped into it. Me: Never mind, I understand now. 🤣
I thought it was march 2023
This thing is impressive because it took down a drone? Are you kidding us
dude what. didn't this happen like a year ago?
and don't get me wrong, the flanker is awesome, but taking down a drone is not impressive.
This happened in 2022
a WW1 biplane could take that drone down lol
It's a shame that we are so far behind the technology of the Russian Fighter Aircraft! It's as if our technicians work only to satisfy the fantasy imagined in Hollywood movies, which in reality are expensive but completely unsuitable, complicated and slow structures that constantly break down and cannot be deployed. Shame!😱
So a Slow ass drone got taken down by a fighter jet is so amazing , sry I don't understand I'm lost....
lol “the Russian jet damaged the drone propeller so the US brought it down” no, the Russians brought it down! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
"verry unprofessional"
Russian platforms are battle tested and performed. They are best of best if you know how to use it.keep it..if you do some addition from your side you can make it lethal.
Ju meen 2022?!!!
In my opinion, the research had inserted itself into a battlefield, therefore, Russia had full rights to shot the darn thing down. Unfortunately a fuel temporarily failed and the repeat had to land,. heh heh!! Nothing to do with abilities, of which I know nothing about any planes civilian or military, but I happen to think the SU series are really cool looking starting with the 27's. But, looks don't finish jobs, so there is that, damn wars!
This is old news A H
...maximum top speed of a reaper is 300 mph...cruising speed 1/2 of that. A Russian WW2 prop fighter could take one down...
never to be close ADVANCED radar look it how SU27 appears at the back of F15 while escorting the russian DEFENCE minister
Again this happened while ago. Us shot down the drone.
How can you get so much wrong in one video. The F-15 was a response to the Mig-25. A plane that the US mistook for an air superiority fighter. And it was designed to be able to dog fight because of the lessons learned in Vietnam and the short comings of the F4 Phantom. It was actually a very heavy fighter for its day. Hence the F16 was born to compliment it.
The Su-27 was designed to be superior to the F15. It's design comes from studies done by the Soviet Union's version of NASA. The same design philosophy can be found in the Mig 29. It was designed as an air superiority fighter as well. But, just like the F15, it was later developed to a multi purpose role.
You keep praising the F15 as the superior dog-fighter, with un matched agility. The Flanker is actually the more agile of the two. It was designed to excel at dog-fighting.
As for taking out the Reaper drone. Likely most WWII aircraft could do that. The Reaper is not a dog fighter. It has nothing to fight back with really. The one in question was spying on Russian activity in the Black Sea, that was forwarded to the Ukrainian military. Like Icarus, it flew too close to the sun and its wings melted.
Big deal Russia has lost half it's Black sea fleet, it's headquarters, it's commander and 30 senior officers as well as the air defenses that are supposed to protect crimea
@@mikejones6065 LOL!!! You are so very wrong. You really need to stop listening to the sheer BS coming out of Kiev. It is kind of humorous, if it wasn't for the fact that it's a war. They are like the Americans, what ever they say, you should believe the exact opposite.
The Iranian also forced down the American drone intact too !!!
yes, that was way more impressive than this
Indeed they did and refined the tech too
It crashed and they glued it back together and repainted it. The version of how they brought it down doesn't make sense. because GPS is not the primary navigation sensor for the RQ-170
Typhoon Euro fighter now about 40 years old. 😄👎
feckin 1 year old this stuff

Obviously YOU DON'T KNOW what YOU are TALKING about Flankers series are the most COBRA maneuverable jets on
the planet with all types of 180 degree up to 360 degree COBRA maneuvers ,No jet on the planet can come even close to those types of maneuvers , GOOD DAY TO YOU Sir
Dogfighting days are over. You will never see your enemy before he shoots you down now days. Welcome to the 2020's
the reaper is just aa drone it wont last much longer anti air air and air to air tech is evoleing
Most US fighter jets are from the cold war era and continuesly upgraded, same for the Russian figter jets, the title almost tricked people into thinking Russian aircraft are inferior.... sorry to say it but Russia is gaining grounds in Ukraine
the flanker is the better aircraft
This is AI made.

Slava💪🇷🇺
Answer: The pilot crashed his plane into the drone...that's how.
Please pin my comment:-
There's a lot of ignorant comment about the superiority of American fighters, especially the F 15. Please google "USAF versus Indian Air Force war game's". The IAF beat USAF F 15s with SU 30s, Mirage 2000s, Jaguars and even MIG 21s, not once, but TWICE, in India and the US.
no more ai videos
True multirole fighter is F-16. Soviet Flanker is far behind Viper in things related to multirole purposes.
F15 UNDEFEATED AGAINST WHO 😅 POOR NATIONS?
Against Russian built junk. 107 victories zero loses. No plane in history has that many victories without a loss.
Ya but Russian pilots are most likely better
American equipment and pilots can only fight in hothouse conditions. this is when at first their government suppressed some third world country for several years with sanctions so that their equipment could not fight due to lack of spare parts, then they suppressed this country with missile attacks, and then, imitating heroes, they invaded, killing women and children there in order to break the fighting men. that's all the combat experience of American pilots.
Thank You
Super
When has Russia ever faced a near peer enemy in the last 80 years? Actually the Ukraine are except they are the 25th best military in the world. I guess that means Russia is 26th best.
rosjanie to parodia czlowieka
misleading title, scam for extra few views shame on you
This is old news, and the Russians were messing with a drone that wasn’t armed that’s pathetic. The Russians wouldn’t of acted like that if that drone was armed
parrot disco drone😂
Such a bullshit video description 😂
27 better stay out of 15 E flight arena.
Nuff Said !!
If the Flanker struck the prop of the drone, what damage was done to the Flanker? I believe that the Russian pilot got too close by accident. Why chance losing a multi-mission expensive aircraft to knock down a drone when he could have used his cannon? Pilot error, and he got lucky.
