Another unwanted incident has been encountered by Russian Aerospace Forces.
An S-70 Okhotnik, Russia’s first stealthy armed drone, was reportedly shot down by a Russian Su-57 stealth fighter after the drone appeared to malfunction. The incident occurred near the Ukrainian-controlled stronghold of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine on Saturday.
Among the wreckage of the drone, there were components resembling a D-30SN precision glide bomb, suggesting that the Okhotnik was on a bombing mission when it was downed.
Russia has been looking to field the S-70 Okhotnik alongside the Su-57 as a ‘loyal wingman’ to the fighter jet.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why Russia killing its own S-70 Okhotnik using Su-57 fighter over Ukraine is a huge setback?
