war birds, but there’s little doubt of who comes out on top in a
dogfight as seen in this video of a purported Russian MIG-29 drilling a
Georgian drone.
Georgia’s air force provided Reuters with video footage it said was recorded and transmitted by the UAV’s on-board camera before it was shot down. The video opens on a lovely spring day over what could be the Black
Sea, then focuses in on a swooping jet aircraft. The jet, with no
visible identification markings, fires a missile that comes up on the
drone in a languid uppercut, before the screen goes to static.
"On April 20 a Russian Mig-29 fighter jet shot down an unarmed,
unmanned air vehicle which was performing basic reconnaissance over
Georgian territory," Georgian air force Colonel David Nairashvili told
Reuters. "It’s absolutely illegal for a Russian Mig-29 to be there." Russia has denied involvement.
