    That story sounds like a load of spin. The Russians managed to
    knock out a drone that was spying on them in a way that it was
    intact enough to recover and study, which is probably what they
    were trying to do given that they didn't just shoot it down.

    Hard to explain what the russians were up to dumping fuel on it.

    Corse we only have a tiny subset of the total footage.

    But even the yanks have worked out how to make them self destruct
    when they go down where someone else might be able to grab the
    remains and see if they can work out anything useful from it.

    It may still be able to self destruct?

    Be interesting to see. While it might be tricky under water,
    its less clear if it can still see the order to commit suicide
    once it is surfaced again and if the russians can stop it
    from doing that or even if it has already fallen on its sword.

    Maybe there is an evil plan, trick the Russians into to trying to
    salvage it then as soon as its out of the water it goes BOOM:-)

    Yeah, but its unlikely that the russians don't realise that risk.

    They seem to have knocked it out by colliding with it. I rather doubt
    that was intentional, given the significant risk to the Russian aircraft.

    Dumping fuel on it appears not to have worked.
