Didn't see anything wingtip to wingtip. Did that footage end up on electronic equivalent of the cutting room floor?
I heard the wingtip BS from a news anchor who showed this on TV. Here, I am now going to check if that really is a Reaper...
Looks like a Reaper. Now props to the Russian pilot, to go as slow as a reaper he was within a hundred knots of his stall speed. He got plenty close...
Wonder if the Reaper pilot (wherever he was) was checking for traffic.
It certainly did not look that close... We have had drones reported closer to us aircraft here in the US.. A non-news item!
Gosh, that WAS close, wasn't it?!?!
