Russian R-27ET missile shot down an unknown attack drone.

Russian rocket shot down an unknown attack drone.

A few hours ago, the resource Avia.pro had information that a Russian supersonic missile R-27ET shot down an unknown unmanned attack aircraft, presumably a Chinese CH-4B. We are talking specifically about the Russian missile, since the fragments found indicate the fact that the R-27ET version was used, which was adopted in 1990, that is, just before the collapse of the USSR.

 

 

At the moment, it is known that the attack-type unmanned aerial vehicle was destroyed on the border of Saudi Arabia and Yemen, while, despite the fact that the missile is aviation, the Houthis managed to successfully hit the aircraft with it from a ground launcher.

Judging by the wreckage of the drone, we can really talk about the attack drone CH-4B, which is in service with the Royal Air Force of Saudi Arabia, however, so far, no comments have been submitted by Riyadh on this subject.

 

 

According to the information obtained by the editors of the Avia.pro resource, the R-27ET aviation missiles were not officially exported to Yemen, which raises many questions in this regard, however, given the effectiveness of the use of this missile, experts note that it will be promising for another 10 -15 years.
