Bayraktar TB2 was able to withstand the Russian Su-27 fighter unlike the American MQ-9 Reaper (video)
Ukraine Weapons Tracker analysts have published a video showing how a Russian Su-27 fighter jet tried to shoot down a Bayraktar TB2 over the Black Sea. The plane did not use missiles.
A week ago, an American MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle crashed after a collision with a Su-27. A Turkish drone belonging to the Armed Forces of Ukraine was able to resist the jet stream 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 failed to identify which country owns the Bayraktar TB2. This is the only logical explanation for why the Su-27 did not use air-to-air missiles.
