If confirmed, Ukraine's reported attack on the Russian advanced stealth jet will be the first known combat loss of an Su-57 aircraft.
Ukrainian forces have damaged an advanced Russian Su-57 jet hundreds of miles away from the front lines inside Moscow's internationally recognized territory, Kyiv's military spy agency said on Sunday, adding this is the 'first such case in history.'An Su-57 jet was struck on Saturday at the Akhtubinsk airfield, in the southern Russian republic of Astrakhan, Kyiv's GUR military intelligence agency said in a statement.
According to Ukraine, Russia has lost 357 aircraft since February 2022, none of which are Su-57 jets. Moscow has a handful of the aircraft in operation, with more than 70 scheduled for delivery to the country's military in the next few years.Russia has made some use of its Su-57 fleet, but is 'attempting to keep it at a safe distance' from Ukraine, Kyiv air force spokesperson, Ilya Yevlash, said in remarks reported by domestic media in late April.
