An information appeared that the Russian supersonic R-27ET missile shot down an unknown shock-type unmanned aerial vehicle, presumably the Chinese CH-4B. We are talking specifically about the Russian missile, since the debris discovered indicates the fact that the R-27ET variant was used, which was adopted in 1990, i.e., just before the collapse of the USSR, Eurasia Diary reports citing Bulgarian Military News.
