The strike took place on Saturday at the #Akhtubinsk base in southern #Russia, the GUR said. The plane, capable of carrying #StealthMissiles, was among “a countable few” of its type in service. Russia’s #Su57 fleet has been largely absent from the skies over #ukraine and has instead been used to fire long-range missiles from across the border.

For the first time, #Ukraine hit russia's newest "stealth" fighter Su-57 on #Akhtubinsk airfield with drones yesterday, about 600km from the front line. Only about 20 of these planes have been produced. Their "stealth" abilities are considered low, however, so that India left the partnership to build them in 2018.
