On January 29, a video documenting the downing of a Ukrainian Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 combat drone by Russian air defenses surfaced online.
The video, which shows the Bayraktar TB2 being hit by the shrapnel of an unidentified anti-aircraft missile, was taken by the drone’s own tail cam. It was either intercepted by electronic warfare means, or recovered by specialists from the wreckage of the drone.
The Bayraktar TB2 has an endurance of up to 24 hours and an operational range of less than 300 kilometers. The drone’s main armament is the laser-guided MAM-C and MAM-L munitions made by Turkey’s Roketsan.
Ukraine purchased dozens of Bayraktar TB2s from the Turkish manufacturer, Baykar, over the last few years. More drones were delivered to Kiev after the beginning of the Russian special military operation last year. The most recent batch, which consisted of two drones, was reportedly delivered to Kiev forces earlier this month.
The Bayraktar TB2 failed to perform well in Ukraine. Most of the country’s drones have already been shot down by Russian air defenses.
The relatively large size, low speed and poor maneuverability of Bayraktar TB2 drones made them easy targets for Russian short and medium-range air defense systems like the Pantsir-S1, the Tor-M2 and the Buk-M3. Electronic warfare systems were also used to jam and disrupt the drone’s communication links.

Great job, Ihor. Finding a Ukrainian success is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so hats off to your diligent work.
I didn’t post the link to start a War back and forth on who is winning, I posted the link to say how f*** epic that was! One moment he’s flying the next moment he’s ejecting and tumbling down to earth, while his plane in the background hits the ground, and go up in a ball of flames: It just reminds me so much of Behind Enemy Lines!
I have a special surprise for you guys, since you think I was hating on the Russians in my previous link I posted, check this one out, Titled: Storming Ukrainian Trenches & Taking Hostages

There was a small segment of this video posted everywgere, but I found the entire video you Pro-Putin guys are welcome, and watch the other link I posted and tell me its not the most epic thing you seen in your life, if not I PayPal you $20!
What good is a 24-hour endurance if the range is only 300 km?
It mighh be the discount version using pedals

Loitering times
Yes, but doesn’t loitering also count into the range?
No. Range refers to the maximum limit of its radio. It’s a drone. It needs to be in communication.
Range isn’t everything. Imagine having an eye in the sky over an area for 24 hours. That is 24hours of continuous surveillance of any area or target. That is the use of the 24 hour endurance. Now, whether or not this drone can manage to survive that long is a different question. Remember, up against an enemy without air defenses, having the ability to stay airborne for long periods of time his valuable in collecting information.
These Turkish drones were much hyped.
I remember two years ago a Libyan documentary, then, Erdogan some time before, had decided to give the government of Tripoli some Bayraktar, and had signed them with black marker on the wings.
Well after a month the Libyans of Benghazi showed the wreckage of one of these drones with the autograph, which had been shot down. A collector’s item.
The Bayraktars accomplished a lot in Syria, Libya, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and elsewhere. But pitting the Bayrakter against Russian air defense systems – including the S400 – is something else altogether.
Meanwhile, Russia is now unleashing its Kinzhal hypersonic missiles against Ukrainian/NATO/Nazi forces, which cannot defend against this weapon.
Russian victory is in the cards….first Kiev, then Warsaw, then on to Berlin!!
Nobody will use S400 on some slow flying child’s plane. I remember when I was little I was building radio controlled gas engine planes like these bayraktars in 1970s.
Bad memory.
This is correct. There is no justification for such overkill. Now, if everything else had failed and this was the last resort to stop a catastrophic event, then yes a S400 might be used though isn’t what it is designed for. The Bayraktar has it purposes. Up against states with Sufficient air defenses and electronic warfare capacity, it’s usefulness diminishes quite quickly.
But first they take Manhattan.
I will just remind this is only one.
Not many are somproud of the Russian air defence system, as You are.
Not so many are proud of the Ukrainian air defence system, just as Arestovyich.
Russia does not need to conquer any further than the righteous ground of the Donbass, as that has been home to Russians for 200 some years.
Russia’s opponents to the east and west will suffer their own defeat by their own hands and if they are lucky will beg Russia for forgiveness.
And it won’t, but they do need to make sure that the Western Ukraine doesn’t fall prey to NATO.
A Moscow-friendly government must be installed back and kept permanently in Kiev.
If it’s not, the Western Ukraine will remain a hotbed for anti-Russian activities for decades.
There will be no such substance as the Ukraine. I hope. Any friendly government is impossible, it’s like creating a government of Bulgaria, Serbia or Romania in the 19th century entirely from janissaries. Janyssary is the part of turkish military consisted from kids taken out from their families in the Balkans and raised in Turkey as fierce punishers. That’s why the Ukraine will die sooner or later. This is the anti-Russia project, same as belorussian project in its core. Real separatism is here, not in Donbas, Donbas is unionist actually.
I hope Bulgarians, Serbians and Romanians wake up and act as Europeans.
Follow the international rules-based order and balkanize Ukraine and don’t balk at it for one minute, just get the job done.
Kiev was the second capital of ancient Rus’ after Novgorod since 9th century, and even Lvov was found by russian duke, so… Plus you can find town of Rava Russkaya close to the border with Poland, the town was found in 15th century, this is earlier than constructing cities at Ural, because Malorossia (i.e. core Russia) with center in Kiev was one of historical regions of Russia since the beginning of history alongside with northern Rus’ with center in Novgorod and Zalesskaya Rus’ with centers in Vladimir and Rostov (not on Don, but northern one). Donetsk is the part of Novorossia, that’s why this is quite new city. Har’kov and Izyum are found in 17th century.
Just destroy the city of London, Davos and Washington DC and the world will be a much better place.
😂😂😂 hurry up chicken brain. Just take it easy with tequila
I doubt that the world will be better after nuclear. Anyway these 3 cities not enough to clean whole world from globalists, need to destroy much more, but this is nuclear war for sure.
That’s very correct.
The Illuminati will go underground so we need underground fighters.
Sans oublier la maison mère satanique qui est Tel-Aviv. La tête de la pieuvre !!!
Very well! Death to the forces of evil!
Iys about handling them well as well as that sector rapidly devellops.
No plane has destroyed soooooooooo many Russian junk soviet equipment like the TB2. This article is just one of the feel good propaganda dished out by SF from time to time to you cheerleaders. but the whole world knows that had it not been for Putins behind-the-scenes jockeying with Erdogan, TB2 videos would be emerging on a weekly basis to show destroyed Russia equipment. It would have been worse than N-K.
Russian air defense has proven to be more than a match for vaunted Bayraktars. These drones had significant success against Russian armor early in the war, in the northern battles. But it didn’t take long for Russian AD to figure out how to neutralize the Bayraktar.
Same is true for the American Switchblade drones. Last spring General Petraeus was on TV telling the whole world that the Switchblade would be a “game changer.” But the truth is quite the opposite. Russian AD prevailed once again.
Ironically, if either side has a drone problem, that would be the Ukrainian/NATO/Nazi side. For several consecutive months, Russian and Iranian made drones have been obliterating Ukraine’s power grid. There’s nothing the Ukrainian/NATO/Nazi side can do about it either.
hahahahaaaaaa they were supposed to be the ultimate weapon for the Ukros. NATO forgot to read the memo that this time those drones will be used against a supremely complete military force in Russia which easily neutralized those big, fat, slow, overpriced drones.
They actually were with 2-3 others. Since then there are so many new kinds too.
Shooting down ONE dont clear the Russian sky at all.
Taking a single dump don’t clear you of years of accumulated bullshit either. LOL
hahaaaaaaa oh man you just tore jens a second assholeioooo
You can believe your horseshit propaganda. Perhaps it makes your defeat in Ukraine less painful. The SMO has already failed since everything is now a war. TB2s are doing great. Putin managed to defeat them with word of mouth. He got Erdogan to stop delivery to Ukraine. You can notice that Zelensky hasn’t been friendly with Erdogan for a long time.
Not even if Jens is a Huge Arse??
Don’t you worry none. It’s easy for us to supply THE ultimate wunderwaffen to Ukraine that will make them evict the Russians in no time. We’ve done it dozens of times already.
haha right since all of the marvelous LGBTQ wonder NATO weapons have been so effective lol.
The Russians are more mouthy and arrogant than the American. With this mindset, how can they avoid defeat?
First 2 weeks of military operation almost ALL Bayraktar drones where shot down. They failed miserably avoiding Russian air defenses. Even in Syria it was reported that Bayraktar was classed as “easy target”.
They did their jobs very well too. They were a grat help to absorbe the Russian vacation trip. By that they – as wars often are – took many with them.
but now they are obsolete no? Nobody wants them no? easy target no? Can’t even kill muzlim camel jockey no? Come on no?…….lol
Mollahs lover no look behind you no no no 💥
man, be thankful we don’t fucking dismantle yous right now using the Al-gurdish loose pant lovers. Stupid moghal guppu we’ll gulag yous back to the xinjiang of east torkestan. You understand? My tolerance for even Azeri ugly is low these days. You understand modr jende? We cut your gas and you will willingly change your religion on da dime! Overnight motherfucker.
Too much tequila again 😅 talking rubbish as usual
You almost Chinese brah……Urumqi is your ancestral home no?….gyukk gyukk….cocuck cocuck…..gyull gyull……chuqq chuqq……lol fuckin guppu. Go back home to China.
Unfortunately, Azerbaijan is getting increasingly pro-Iranian now. Bad news for Armenia. If Armenia is attacked then Armenians should ally with China and India.
Unfortunately you are about as clueless as most of the muzlim cabby round here.
Fortunately, I am cluefull
Do you speak to yourself mr lunatic?
No, I speak to you and your guppu friend here. He swings between being a shyster of hably babbly to a turkish guppu, whilst you like to play Greek online, whilst being Azeri ugly……lol. You see da problem? Both o yous got an identity crises.
When will you stop taking drugs?
A long convoy of Russian military was destroyed in what was TB2’s most bloody massacre ever.
Jealousy can kill turdo .baraktar the best you know well
Anyway it’s better to have UAVs than not have at all. It’s just great weapon against papuans without AAD or close to zero (like DAESH). But for strong AAD you must have something faster and stealthy or to use another tactics like swarm of cheap “Geraniums”.
I hope Russia has dedicated teams designated to salvaging useful items off Ukranian equipment that has been left behind or left behind damaged. With the sanctions, many seemingly meaningless solid state circuitry devices could prove to be invaluable.
You are an idiot. Electronics get wet – goes to the junker. Nobody salvages it. It is is not a car fender.
I make integrated circuit boards at home myself. If I can do it, I am sure Russia can do it too. It was an big advantage that West had in 1970s and 1980s. All of that is gone due to technology transfer and proliferation.
What is the operating altitude and can they be picked up by conventional radar and knocked down with air defense artillery
Bayraktars can be shot down using a Nikon P900 digital camera and good sling shot or cross bow. Imagine how easy it is for the Russians to shoot them down. They are very slow.
shoot off with your mouth since Putin managed to persuade Erdogan against their delivery. He’s given so much economic benefits to Turkey, which is why TB2 is scarcely in Ukrainian airspace now.
If you have been engaging the TB2s and shooting them down, why isn’t new Russian images surfacing?
There was to be a plant built in U-krankiya to assemble these things. Wonder if that’s still a go?
Fake muzlim news as usual. Anything out of da muzlim whurrld is junk news generally. Everybody knows.
How come you didin’t prevent Azerbaijan taking over huge swathes of soviet territory?
It was officially launched a few days ago. Should start production by 2025.
There were two plants able to produce parts for TB-2: “Ivchenko-Progress” (rotor engine) and “Motor-Sech”. Both are bombed to the dust by RuAF already. Any construction at he Ukraine is impossible. If mad ukros say that they made new weapons, this is lies, it was assembled somewhere in Poland or Czechia. After 1991 ukros lost almost all industry of USSR and some factories from monarchist era like shipbuilding plant in Nikolaev.

Looks like summer, Ihor. You must have had to look long and hard for something positive from your perspective as a cross-eyed inbred Banderite.
Still talking to yourself clive? Is this lhor in the Room with you? Does he tell you to hurt yourself?
Another of Erdog’s dead turkeys. Wonderful to see.
“…being hit by the shrapnel of an unidentified anti-aircraft missile…”
Why unidentified, if the voice in video clearly tells it was “Buk-M3” (export name “Viking”) with up to 70 km range. It’s close to the first version of S-300 in hands of ukros. M1 – 35 km, M2 – 50 km, M3 – 70 km and 6 missiles in containers on launcher instead 4.
Il Bayraktar TB2 avrebbe i titoli di arma per la battaglia delle Termopili , è solo in ritardo di alcuni millenni.
“The relatively large size, low speed and poor maneuverability of Bayraktar TB2 drones made them easy targets”
And this is why I do not see a future for the drones that are designed to carry bombs, launch them, and return as if they were piloted aircraft. Carrying bombs forces them to become larger and slower and easier targets. The future is with suicide drones that can identify targets on their own with image recognition.
Russian victory is in the way, first Kiev, then Moldova, then Warsaw, then Berlin!!
