Yeah, obviously the Russians were attacked by this drone, They did nothing wrong.

Good thing I'm not in charge of the drone program! They'd all have a proximity switch that triggers electronic jamming at 200 yards and 10# of enclosed C4 at 25 yards.

Good thought. I think that might dissuade additional "not events.".

The dumping of the fuel on the drone, by the Russian jet, could, possibly, have had a similar effect if it had got into the drone's engine air intake or on a hot engine.

Why didn't they show the bent prop?
