Yeah, hopefully he was using a zoom lens.....but you never know with those crazy Russkies.

I am surprised he can even fly that close to an airport, I certainly cannot with my drone, even if I wanted to. I believe all DJI drones at least have fencing around sensitive areas.

Isn't it an optical illusion? If a drone was that close to a large jet like this I'd expect it to have a very tough ride in the wake turbulence behind the jet, but the drone doesn't even move.
