Russia's Su-57 stealth jets have stayed away from the frontlines, attacking Ukrainian territory from a distance to dodge Kyiv's air defenses.
A long-range drone attack on a Russian airfield hundreds of miles behind the frontlines may have damaged two advanced stealth jets, in what Ukraine claimed as the first ever successful strike on Moscow's Su-57 fighter aircraft.Ukraine's GUR military intelligence agency said on Sunday that a Russian Su-57 fighter jet was damaged in an attack on the Akhtubinsk airfield, in the southern Russian republic of Astrakhan.
Ukrainian air force spokesperson Ilya Yevlash said in late April that Russia had made limited use of its Su-57, but was attempting to keep the jets far away from the grasp of Kyiv's air defense systems.In early 2023, the British government said Russia had kept its Su-57 jets, also referred to by their NATO reporting name, Felon, for operations against Ukraine in Russian airspace, typically using long-range missiles.
