According to Military Today, the price is around $5 million each. Bayraktar TB2
I didn’t think they use those for suicide mission.
This is the first time I have read where they used the drone on a suicide mission. Given the success of this mission, I expect to see more.
The question I would have is why wasn't it shot down?
It was a daytime mission. It flew over a lot of Russian controlled territory before it entered Russian airspace. Surely the refinery would have S-400 coverage.
This is not good news for Russia.
I’m saying I don’t think it was a Bayraktar.
There’s no way Ukraine can afford to suicide something that cost so much.
It may not have even caused more damage than it cost if it was a bayraktar.
There are a lot of drones that have a similar profile and tail (though smaller size than bayraktar)
