Gotta admit pilots name threw me off. I initially thought OP was a tankie saying the pilot Naziarily flipping off the downed drone.

Came to comments to understand.

Before enlarging the thumbnail or reading the post title I was really wondering what that joystick was for. It is for showing to the russians.
