White House says Russian pilot who ran into a US drone and broke it was, at best, 'an idiot'

• Russian pilots who intercepted and harassed a US drone last week were presented with awards.
• When asked at a briefing about the awards, a top White House official ripped into the pilots. 
• "If that's bravery, then I guess they got a different definition of it," John Kirby said. 

The White House has delivered its sharpest criticism yet of a Russian pilot who flew a fighter jet into a US military drone, with a top official slamming the individual as, at best, "an idiot."
