Why Did Russia Just Shoot Down Its Own Fighter-Sized S-70 Hunter Drone Over Ukraine? The S-70 Okhotnik-B flying-wing unmanned combat air vehicle was shot down by a Russian fighter miles past the front lines and its wreckage could be a big intel win.

It’s designed off of a U.S. drone that was taken down in Iran over almost 15 years ago. I really doubt there’s much the U.S. can learn from Russian poorly reverse engineering U.S. tech. Also the photos of the crash, that thing is burnt to a crisp.
Within 24 hours, the wreckage will either be in a UK or US lab being analyzed by NATO’s top weapons designers.
Run away drone, like rc’s without a fail safe. They lost controls is my guess.
Because they are giant idiots
I bet Ukraine hacked it and was gonna check it out.
