    Off topic georgian uav 'shoot down'

    seen this?! Seems a bit 'perfect' to me, and surely the Mig could launch from much further away (perhaps some of our more informed members could comment?) but impressive none the less, especially as it's a UAV so no-one was hurt (I assume, as it appears to be over the sea)

    It would appear to be much the same as taking a knife to a gunfight, a drone vs a MIG-29 I'll take the MIG and give points. Nice resolution prior to the untimely meeting with the surface to air however.

    The way that MIG banks into the shot looks pretty awesome!

    The Georgian Narrator is right about the clarity of the video. It's really sharp and amazing clear...right up until Fox One arrives on target.

    Well yes of course your correct, what's that got to do with you not being John Travolta?
