Ukrainian soldiers have landed another Russian "bird". The next target was the Su-30SM fighter - one of the newest aircraft in the Russian Federation.
This was reported by the Ukrainian war correspondent Andrei Tsaplienko.
An enemy fighter with tail number RF81771 was probably shot down in the Kharkiv region. It was one of the newest RF aircraft to bombard the area.
"The cost price is $50 million. Produced by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant in 2018 and transferred to the 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, which is located in the city of Kursk, near the Ukrainian border. The regiment's deputy commander Sergei Kosik was shot down in March and is being held captive on the territory of Ukraine" , - the journalist notes.
At the same time, military commander Roman Bochkala published a photo of an open parachute for the pilot. He probably catapulted. There is no information about his fate.
