Um, Shooting down an unmanned drone doesnt count as a "kill"

Like when they shot down that weather balloon does that count as a kill too lol?

The F22 that shot down the weather balloon now has a balloon painted in the cockpit, so I guess??

You know what let them cope, Russia also awarded the pilot after downing that reaper drone too lol.

Yeah but that Russian pilot did some sick ass maneuver without shooting it, that guy is cool as hell

Imagining some US drone pilot nerd throwing their PS2 controller across the room adds a cherry on top

They pissed over it and it crashed and the same day few banks also crashed, then they made a hispanic laugh meme about it, that's advanced techniques.

I think they were trying to get it counted as a kill, yeah. Dunno what decision was made in the end.

The F22's only A2A kills are in fact, balloons
