Russia's Advanced S-70 Drone Shot Down in Ukraine
The downing of Russia's S-70 Okhotnik drone by its own forces offers Ukraine potential insights into cutting-edge military technology.
- The S-70 Okhotnik, a sophisticated stealth drone, was downed over eastern Ukraine by a Russian Su-57 jet after reportedly malfunctioning.
- The incident occurred near Kostyantynivka, with the drone's destruction aimed at preventing it from falling into Ukrainian hands.
- Ukrainian forces managed to recover parts of the wreckage, which could provide valuable intelligence on Russian drone technology.
- The Okhotnik is designed to work alongside Su-57 fighter jets and is capable of carrying bombs and rockets over long distances.
- This event marks a significant setback for Russia's drone program, as the S-70 was expected to enter mass production this year.
