this poor quality video has been released by gotus as the drone after it was hit and falling.

so another drone or manned a.c was lurking in the area at lower elevation. some say it was a P8 or P3 using its FLIR recorder.

Re: The next war in the Persian Gulf

the triton drone was probably at lower height and trying to sniff out iranian movements. the high alt mission is for SAR radar and optical imagery I think.

the BUK type missiles can also go to 80,000 feet and quite easy intercept vs a slow non manouvering drone.

are there any pics at all of Su35 testing this missile? I have never seen it.
the zaslon radar of Mig31 has long been compatible with the R37 as its long range needs a mid course datalink and it was day0 on foxhound. the irbis/bars may need some sw changes to talk to this missile.
