In the ongoing conflicts around the globe, drones have emerged as a pivotal tool in modern warfare, offering precision strikes and surveillance capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional aircraft. Among these, the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 has gained significant attention for its performance in various theaters, including the Ukraine conflict. This article delves into the strategic implications of drone combat tactics, particularly focusing on the Bayraktar TB2’s engagements against Russian Su-27 jets and other UAV deployments. By analyzing recent combat footage and insights from experts, we aim to shed light on the evolving nature of aerial warfare and what it means for future conflicts.
Key Takeaways
Jetwash Maneuver: A notable incident involved a Bayraktar TB2 drone flying through the jet wash of a Russian Su-27 fighter jet, showcasing the drone’s resilience and the complexities of aerial combat in modern warfare.
Artillery Strikes and Bomb Drops: There have been instances of drones being used to deliver artillery shells and bombs, demonstrating their versatility in supporting ground operations and disrupting enemy movements.
Counteroffensive Tactics: The use of drones in dropping explosives on tanks and other armored vehicles highlights their role in asymmetric warfare, where smaller forces can leverage technology to offset numerical disadvantages.
Analysis and Trends
The analysis of these videos and additional research indicates a growing trend towards the integration of drones in various aspects of military strategy. The ability of drones like the Bayraktar TB2 to operate in contested airspace and perform precision strikes represents a significant advancement in warfare technology. As the Ukraine conflict continues, we can expect to see further innovations in drone design and deployment strategies, potentially leading to new standards in aerial combat tactics.
Conclusion
The incorporation of drones into modern warfare has profound implications for how conflicts are waged and resolved. The Bayraktar TB2’s performance in the Ukraine conflict serves as a testament to the transformative potential of drone technology. As we move forward, it will be crucial to monitor developments in drone warfare, considering both their advantages and the ethical considerations they raise. Readers interested in exploring these topics further are encouraged to scroll down to view the highlighted videos and gain deeper insights into the dynamics of drone combat.

It’s not immediately clear why the drone was shot down. It’s possible the Russian pilot wasn’t able to distinguish its nation of origin as Turkey flies their own Bayraktar drones over the Black Sea. It’s also possible the aircraft were in international airspace and not worth the geopolitical fallout of engaging it.

Military drones are expensive to replace – a single Bayraktar TB2 costs about $2m (£1.7m).
So, both sides – but especially Ukraine – are turning to small, commercial models, such as the DJI Mavic 3, which costs about £1,700.
One Ukrainian drone manufacturer estimates the country’s forces have 6,000 drones, but it’s impossible to confirm this.
Such commercial drones can be fitted with small bombs. However, they are mainly used to spot enemy troops and to direct attacks.
“Ukraine doesn’t have as much ammunition as Russia,” says Dr Miron. “Having ‘eyes in the sky’ to spot targets and direct artillery fire means they can make better use of what they have.”
But commercial drones are much less powerful than military ones.
The DJI Mavic’s total flying distance is only 30km, and it can only fly for a maximum of 46 minutes.
Cheaper and smaller drones fly for even less time, and cover shorter distances.
Ukraine’s main military drone is the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2. It is about the size of a small plane, has cameras on board, and can be armed with laser-guided bombs.
At the outset of the war, Ukraine had a fleet of “fewer than 50” of these, says Dr Jack Watling of the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) think-tank.
Russia mainly uses the “smaller, more basic” Orlan-10, he says: “Russia started the war with some thousands of them, and may have a few hundred left.” These drones also have cameras and can carry small bombs.
For both sides – Russia and Ukraine – drones have been most effective when used to locate enemy targets and guide artillery fire toward them.
“Russian forces can bring their guns to bear on the enemy within only 3-5 minutes of an Orlan-10 drone spotting a target,” says Dr Watling. Without the drone, an attack could take 20-30 minutes to carry out, he adds.
“If you wanted to seek out enemy positions in the past, you would have had to send out special forces units… and you might lose some troops,” she says. “Now, all you’re risking is a drone.”
In the first few weeks of the war, Ukraine’s Bayraktar drones were widely praised.
“They were shown attacking targets such as ammunition dumps, and played a part in the sinking of the Moskva [warship],” Dr Miron says.
However, many Bayraktars have been destroyed by Russia’s air defence systems.
“They are large, relatively slow-moving, and fly at only medium altitude – and that makes them easy to shoot down,” says Dr Watling.
