The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) has announced the downing of a new Russian Su-57 aircraft. This is the first time in history that this has happened.
The DIU reports this.
“On June 8, on the territory of the Akhtubinsk airfield in the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation, located 589 kilometers from the combat line, a Su-57 multirole fighter of the aggressor state was hit,” the message says.
According to intelligence data, this is evidenced by satellite images of the aircraft parking at an enemy airfield.
“The photographs show that on June 7, the Su-57 was standing intact, and already on June 8, explosion craters and characteristic spots of fire that arose as a result of fire damage appeared near it,” the DIU added.
