Bayraktar TB2 was able to withstand a Russian Su-27 fighter, unlike the American MQ-9 Reaper
Ukraine Weapons Tracker analysts have published a video showing a Russian Su-27 fighter trying to shoot down a Bayraktar TB2 over the Black Sea. In doing so, the aircraft did not use missiles.
Here's What We Know
A week ago, an American MQ-9 Reaper drone crashed due to a collision with a Su-27. The Turkish drone, belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was able to resist the jet of the Russian fighter.
#Ukraine: Everyone heard about the recent MQ-9 incident- but we received a recent video that shows a Russian fighter unsuccessfully attempting to take down a much lighter Bayraktar TB-2 over the Black Sea near the coast of Crimea using jet wash in a similar manner. pic.twitter.com/YFAxqaaLz9

Military analysts suggest that the Russians have failed to identify which country owns the Bayraktar TB2. This is the only logical explanation why the Su-27 did not use air-to-air missiles.
