(possibly Syrian air force) MiG-29 fighter jet destroys TB2 drones west of Sirte using R-77 BVR

It is worth noting Libyan air force never had any MiG-29 fighter jets.

Never. No MiG-29 was ever shot down in Syria or Libya.

They say this is the TB2 killer.

90% of air defense rests on the shoulders of fighter planes. Only 10% of air defense can be done by AD. Fighter planes is what achieves air supremacy.

It is not confirmed .... but ,for me , this is the first time to see Bayraktar destroyed this way with flames ....!
As I remember, all other shot downs the body was fully or partially intact .... may be the canon of Pantsir...

Whats Turkey response? After introducing UCAVs and more critically Jamming or EW systems that neutralised the Pantsirs. The opfor has further increased firepower with mig 29s and su 24 bombers

EW is overrated. Countries like Turkey that can't even make a rudimentary fighter plane radar can make EW. EW is nothing but EMP. It fries friendly systems too it's a double edged sword.

Well then the world's militaries are wrong according to you. You need to read up on EW during Vietnam, Gulf War etc.

Ground based EW isn't as effective as air based EW.

So Syrian Af that cannot defend its own airspace against Turkish and Israeli AF has somehow deployed to Libya?
And they have sneaker wearing pilots...

well , if he used its cannon or something like R-60 , I would have said good he can be proud . but honestly R-77 !?
even Israel stopped using Patriot against drones.

Not confirmed by any serious source excluding trolls and their twitter accounts. There wasn’t even a lost drone yesterday.

Only when the air defense is an incapable Russian or Russian based one.

It depends on the drone's size and altitude.
Israel is about to stop using the Patriot altogether.
