Ukraine Hits Top Su-57 Fighter Jet Inside Russia
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. The site is around 365 miles from the current front lines in eastern Ukraine, according to the GUR.
Newsweek has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.
One of Russia's influential military bloggers—often considered sources for information on losses in lieu of official commentary from Moscow—said on Sunday that a Ukrainian drone had attacked the Akhtubinsk airfield on Saturday, and that the Su-57 was "damaged by shrapnel."
"It is now being determined whether it can be restored or not," the Fighterbomber Telegram channel added.
Moscow has been keen to keep its top-of-the-line, fifth-generation Su-57 stealth jets far away from Ukraine's air defense systems. Unlike other jets widely used in Ukraine, such as Russia's Su-35 aircraft, Su-57 fighters have not played a major role in the Kremlin's air presence in Ukraine.
