Sorry for using YT shorts. That was just the original source.

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?

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

A gasoline explosion would be fake..?

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

Do you think this was in Ukraine or something..? It's in the US. It was likely loaded with tannerite, and it was likely done for the "yeeehawww" of it, based on the channel's content.
