I’ve never seen a situation like this before. The UAV looks like an RQ-21, but why is it blowing up over a lake in the US? The poster has shared no editional information but seems legit based on their posting history. Does anyone have any explanations?
Can anyone identify/ explain this UAV blowing in a YT short?

Explosion looks fake, more fire than bang as if it were fueled by gasoline rather than something like c4, and we don’t hear debris hitting the water

I would wager that the fuel supply overheated ruptured and ignited… Or CGI.

A gasoline explosion would be fake…?

Well it wouldn’t be the intended payload for a drone like this

Weird. It doesn’t look like they’ve used effects on their channel before.

It could be real, I’m no expert, just a guy who’s watched a ton of mythbusters
