I could start by asking what in the heck both U.S. and Russian aircraft are doing in the skies over Syria, but what's the point?
Here's the video you came for:
"One of the Russian flares struck the U.S. MQ-9, severely damaging its propeller," the U.S. military said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Fortunately, the MQ-9 crew was able to maintain flight and safely recover the aircraft to its home base," the statement added.
U.S. military officials have said it is unclear what has led to the uptick in aggressive Russian moves over Syrian skies.
"There is a bit of an uptick, but I wouldn't overstate it too much. I think that our forces have adequate rules of engagement and authorities provided to defend themselves," General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters earlier this month.
I'm glad to see Milley is taking a break from his studies on "white rage" to offer opinions on how everything is fine and not to worry about anything.
No empire has ever had overconfident military brass right before the inevitable end.
I'll leave you with this 👇
