Russia has apparently shot down a Georgian UAV.

Video and article here.

Sure as hell looks like a MiG-29 and not an L-39.

Impressive footage of what looks like a Mig-29 pulling in behind the UAV before blasting it out of the sky with an air to air missile.

First air to air kill of 2008?

Cool footage.

I do chuckle at how darn shamelessly casual Georgian officals are over the whole "georgian territory" and "abkhaz separatist rebels" thing. Honestly, ticks me off that America is providing military support to them.

I'm curious what Russia's side of the story is. You're right, that's definitely a MiG-29.

Wow...that's not the kind of footage you see every day...

Bit overkill though...could have just closed the gap and used guns if you're going to blow your ID like that.
