Russian air defense systems shot down an unmanned supersonic fighter in the sky over Syria.

Despite the fact that information about the deployment and use of the latest Russian anti-aircraft missile system S-500 "Prometheus" in Syria was officially denied by representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Syrian source claims that about two months ago, namely, this period was referred to by the sources of the publication "Izvestia", in the southeastern part of the Arab republic, a supersonic unmanned fighter MiG-25 was shot down, and, for this, the domestic "Prometheus" was used.

“Reportedly: about two months ago, Russia tested the C-500 in Syria against a target (probably the unmanned MiG-25). The rocket was launched from the coastline towards the southeast. "- reports "Syrian Military Capabilities".

Considering the distance from the western coast of Syria to the southeastern border of the Arab republic, experts believe that it is unlikely that we are talking about the use of the S-500 systems, however, they suggest that a similar situation could really take place, since against aerodynamic targets and in St. 400, and the S-500 uses the same anti-aircraft guided missile.

“About cases of“ alteration ”of the MiG-25 into an unmanned aircraft, information has repeatedly appeared before. It is possible that the Russian military decided to test the capabilities of long-range missiles against a real target, however, the likelihood that the C-500 was used was too small.
