Air defense forces of the RF Armed Forces over the Belgorod region in the evening 24 July, an aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down. It is reported by Telegram-channel Baza.
According to resource sources, drone shot down in Rakityansky district, near the village of Ilek-Koshary, located in 14 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border. No one was injured in the drone crash., there was no destruction.
According to the Baza Telegram channel, the downed device turned out to be the Bayraktar UAV (Bayraktar) Turkish production. Such unmanned aerial vehicles have been supplied to Ukraine by Türkiye since the beginning of the special military operation.. However, recently they were used at the front not often., since the Bayraktars often shot down, and the cost of such drones is not so low, just to sacrifice them.
note, that in the social networks of the Belgorod governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, which regularly publishes available information about attacks by Ukrainian drones and shelling of the region by Ukraine, there are no reports of this attack yet.
If Bayraktar really flew over the Belgorod region, then the question arises about the purpose of his flight, because it's unlikely, that the Ukrainian side use a rather expensive UAV for ordinary attacks, which usually end with the destruction of drones or their landing with the help of electronic warfare. For conventional attacks, the APU has enough much cheaper drones. used photos:Wikipedia / Bayhaluk
