Su-57 was hit for the first time

On June 8, 2024, a Su-57 multi-purpose fighter of the aggressor state was hit on the territory of the Akhtubinsk airfield in the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation, located 589 kilometers from the line of combat.

This is evidenced by satellite images of the aircraft parking at the enemy airfield.

The pictures show that on June 7th, the Su-57 was standing intact, and on the eighth, there were ruptures from the explosion and characteristic spots of fire caused by fire damage near it.

The Su-57 is Moscow's most modern fighter, which can be used to attack the Kh-59 and Kh-69 missiles.

A few units of the specified combat aircraft are in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Su-57 damage is the first such case in history.

Glory to Ukraine!
