Original Note:
As confirmed by the video, the propeller of the MQ-9 drone was hit by the second SU-27 fighter jet during a fuel dump, causing damage. Fuel dumps were not the cause of the crash. Russia still disputes this claim and says crash was caused by a "sharp manoeuvre" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64957792 https://www.reuters.com/world/what-happened-us-drone-downed-near-ukraine-2023-03-15/
