Well, that's quite really a good fotage. And that's surely Russian aircraft (MiG-29 or SU-27), or that may be Turkish F-15, cause there are no other twin-tails in that region (but what would Turks need over Abhasia?).
And, being Russian, I can believe, that Russian airforce hits Georgian UAV. But besides the question "What did Russian fighter do over Abhasia?" there is another question "What did Georgian UAV do there?" Because in fact Abhasia is not a Georgian territory. During the war in 1994-95 Abhasians withdrew Georgian army and gained practically independance. And both sides ceased fire only after UN-troops (Russians) stood brtween them, and they had an agreement that neither Abhasian nor Georgian planes would not fly over each other's territories. But during last three years Georgians are very provokative.
