Russia shoots down unmanned spy plane

Not sure if this is general discussion, video or real aviation, do mods do as you must.

Caught on video, well until it received an air to air missile down the camera lens , a reported Russian aircraft shoots down a Georgian unmanned aircraft.  

Flash bang wallop what a picture

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Cool video, but the voice over is soooo funny.....

"We have been told that the distinctive twin tail design shows that this jet is a Mig 29, meaning the Russians are involved with this....."

;D ;D ;D

Nah, he might have got up from his flight controlls in his office cubicle and went and got a cup of coffee though... ;D

I love the "Master Caution" text after the hit. I can only imagine the horror of being a fighter pilot, and seeing something like that coming at you.
