It looks like one pass two different camera angles. You can still faintly see the yellow strips on the prop from the second camera. The prop has a dark shadow from the second camera angle making the yellow stripes difficult to see. Also, I do see two damaged prop fins.
Maybe....it's definitely the vid of a damaged drone prop but to make a 100% positive identification it's the same drone/prop? ....I can't watch those two vids and confidently say it's the same drone. I wish the DOD would have kept the video running so we could see the 2nd pass that damages the prop but they stop the vid after the first pass where the prop is not damaged and cut back to a vid showing the damaged prop.

My thinking after watching the video was that it was gallons of fuel impacting the drone that bent the prop, not the Su-27.
Holy shite.

It's quite possible the density of the jet fuel combined with the speed of the dumped fuel impacting the drone prop could have bent the blades.......although that one blade is hooked pretty good.

What?
That much fuel has plenty of mass/speed that the propellers are definitely not designed to handle in flight.
IMO it is more plausible than the plane managing to clip just one of the blades (and even then only bending it) without ostensibly doing anything else to the drone.

New rule: After the first attempt at spraying, the drone operator tries to target the jet's intakes.
That would stop this sort of "hold-my-beer" bullshite with the quickness.

Wouldnt it be a better idea to dump fuel on top of the drone and not below it?
Trajectory, flight path, moving target….

Let's say your goofy theory is correct. What's the difference? The Su took down a reaper. Wouldn't have made a difference if the pilot tossed a dildo at the drone.

There is no difference. It is just an observation.
I don’t see how the Su-27 would have hit just one propeller blade without taking it off completely or hitting any of the stabilizers/wings on the drone, which extend to the sides of and above the propeller.

Looks like a different prop...the first prop has yellow stripes and on the video showing the prop after the collision I don't see the yellow stripes.

Ok. I'm arguing with myself then, lol. I have no issue with your opinion.

What video are you watching,,, the Russian jet was above the US drone.
The russian jet is clearly below the reaper when he starts dumping fuel. He ends up above the drone, but thats why he hits it.

I didnt say its harder than it looks obviously. Why wouldnt he just come back around when he could do it right instead of looking like an idiot?

A lot of DoD and State Department officials would get noticeably excited.

Because he's Russian.

Let's agree on this. If f the US was engaged in a skirmish with a CCP or Russia backed nation....let's say it's Mexico or some other South American country and the CCP/Russia had a drone relaying surveillance and targeting information to military forces hostile to the US we would drop that drone wherever it's flying if we were to acquire targeting information.

Maybe we should stop flying drones over there, eh? Or, just demolish Russia and stop playing patty cake?

Why? International waters...Turkey has no issue with it.
We're allowed to walk with our balls hanging out and drop US dollars bills on a majority of dining room tables around the world because of our military presence. The moment the USA starts "minding its business" is the moment the USA becomes just like any other country.

How many hours of video was fabricated?
How many hours of video is forbidden to be seen?
What levels of censorship is the US using in this?
GOONS

so the reports about the SU-27 crashing after the collision are false?
