Ukraine Claims Successful Strike on Russian Su-57 Fighter Jet

Attack on Russia's advanced warplane marks a significant milestone in the conflict, with implications for future engagements.

Ukraine's military intelligence shared images purportedly showing damage to the Su-57 at Akhtubinsk air base.
The strike follows recent Western authorization for Ukraine to use long-range weapons against targets inside Russia.
The Su-57, a key asset in Moscow's air fleet, was reportedly hit by Ukrainian-made drones.
Russia has not officially confirmed the strike, but military bloggers suggest the jet may be irreparably damaged.
This event underscores the escalating use of drones by Ukraine to target strategic sites deep within Russian territory.
