@deankelz29 if I had to bet, He fired an R-73/74 which only has 16lbs warhead hence why the wing was only blown off and it was still in one piece An R-77s has 50lbs warhead and that would have completely shredded that drone however its look the aircraft wasnt carrying any R-77s

its highly likely that drone had malfunctioned and they were forced to destroy it. As for them locating it, the fact that another aircraft was near by suggesting they were conducting an ISR (Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) ops trying to locate targets and something went wrong Now this hints to serious desperation on Russia's side to take such a risk with so few S-70s made however its still a tactical nightmare as there was still plenty intact pieces that are valuable to the west

@AndyDavisTechnicalDiving How about no The S-70s isnt an ISR UAV like the RQ-180 its unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), like the MQ-20 or X-47B whatever they were doing , something went wrong and they were forced to destroy it but failed to completely do so so win for Ukraine and the West

Here's the rub its not a bad as everyone makes it because even the US had to down malfunctioning drones however in Russia's case They have very few S-70 made is odd that they would take the risk Hinting desperation on their part
