At 40s into the video one blade is bent the rest are not.

All the drone <> ground station comms and video feeds got a major security upgrade. That’s probably very sensitive as that crypto system will be used across US military equipment.

Well drones are designed to be made expendable and operate closer to danger zones where recovery is less likely, so they will be a designed in a way (you would hope) that there’s no issue if they are retrieved by enemies.

Rather than waste expensive missiles Russia's method of taking something down is to wack it something bigger, like a jet! They can also claim it hit them so win-win from Russia's pov.
I don't claim to be follow all of this tbh, but drones are sent to gather information and it doesn't matter too much if it is lost vs a downed pilot. There is a trade-off of risk involved though as yes the tech could be reserve engineered to some extent.
I assume the US military knows what they are doing.

So it seems the Swedish Quran burner that derailed Swedish-Turkish talks had been in talks with the Russian Wagner group, who paid for all his expenses.

I always thought there was something very fishy about the timing of that incident.
Rasmus Paludan kopplas till Wagnergruppen – men blånekar
Kalla fakta avslöjar • Paludan blånekar – och tror att TV4 fifflat: ”Totalt löjligt”

No probably not the MQ-9 is quite old now and several have been lost which would have been easier to recover.

From the looks of things, he didn’t intend to hit the drone, just pass over the top of it while dumping fuel on it. Obviously the pilot made a complete **** of it.

The US pilot forum might agree, the Russian pilot forum on the other hand: hold my beer, no seriously I'm trying to drink vodka here! etc
Busy day in the air - full on NATO exercises over the North Sea and Scotland (including B-52s) and a bunch of stuff sniffing around Kaliningrad, etc. including a UK Rivet Joint, Joint STARS, ARTEMIS and Swedish air force intel aircraft.

We are yet to discover one
The US should start up reforger 2.0 as a consequence of the mere loss of a drone and use Poland/Finland/Baltics as the operating grounds for it.
That'll teach em.
Also Chrome Dome 2.0 for added paranoia when the new B21 drones come into play.
