As expected, nothing like what missile manufacturers would have you believe.
According to the Israeli military, the origin of the intruding UAV has not been verified, but sources suggest that it was probably a Searcher 2 designed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) which was being operated by Russian forces deployed within Syria.Two Raytheon Patriot surface-to-air missiles were launched at the UAV immediately after it was detected, but missed their target. A third attempt to shoot it down, this time using an air-to-air missile, also failed.
