Ukraine Hits Top Su-57 Fighter Jet Inside Russia
Newsweek ^ | 6/9/2024 | Ellie Cook

Posted on 06/09/2024 4:46:08 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Ukrainian forces have damaged an advanced Russian Su-57 jet hundreds of miles away from the front lines inside Moscow's internationally recognized territory, Kyiv's military spy agency said on Sunday, adding this is the "first such case in history."

An Su-57 jet was struck on Saturday at the Akhtubinsk airfield, in the southern Russian republic of Astrakhan, Kyiv's GUR military intelligence agency said in a statement. The site is around 365 miles from the current front lines in eastern Ukraine, according to the GUR.

One of Russia's influential military bloggers—often considered sources for information on losses in lieu of official commentary from Moscow—said on Sunday that a Ukrainian drone had attacked the Akhtubinsk airfield on Saturday, and that the Su-57 was "damaged by shrapnel."

"It is now being determined whether it can be restored or not," the Fighterbomber Telegram channel added.

Moscow has been keen to keep its top-of-the-line, fifth-generation Su-57 stealth jets far away from Ukraine's air defense systems. Unlike other jets widely used in Ukraine, such as Russia's Su-35 aircraft, Su-57 fighters have not played a major role in the Kremlin's air presence in Ukraine.

Now that the shackles of restricting where superior Western weapons can be used against the orcs have FINALLY been lifted (or at least partially), let’s see what develops.

We were told, a few days ago, that Russian jamming techniques were far superior to those of the United States. As I recall, we were told weapons such as the Excaliber 155 mm round and the HIMARS were no longer being used by the Ukrainians.

I wondered, at the time, if it were a psyops program to lull the Russians into exposing more of their assets...

Those new US weapons we are providing to Ukraine are making a difference. They should be able to Moscow soon.

See “The New Atlas” YouTube site to see what’s really happening with the weapons technology being provided to Ukraine by NATO. Hint: none of it is any good -

Biden apologizes to Zelensky for the "delay" in getting our tax dollars to him......blamed it on Republicans.

Zelensky said he wasn't mad and is putting an extra billion in the Biden family's offshore account.

Whenever a Ukrainian shell hits target, the event is reported on Newsweek, leading readers to believe that the Ukrainians must be on a roll. Might be true, but we’re getting only the Biden/NATO/EU side of the story.

Joe Biden is becoming another Zelenski Facist in eyes of the world. They see a man incapable of being elected and one who is destroying his domestic competition. America is going to keep Joe Biden “Zelenski” Style without the transfer of power. America is a facist “Zelenski” sytled dictatorship. Political opposition being jailed, their conservative MSM assets seized, in the shaping of the domestic battlefield. JOE BIDEN AND THE DNC NEEDS WAR TO MAINTIAN HIS IRON GRIP.

Yes, it is time for Russia to start allowing their proxies to make deep conventional strikes against NATO and Ukrainian interests around the world. Every escalation is met with a counter measure.

- Easter Europe may soon see a series of bridges connecting to Ukraine, and their ports/airfields taken out. Poland, Romania, and several Baltic states could lose their American utilized airfields.

- Ukriane’s power grid will be finished off in the coming days. Ukraine’s road and rail bridge infrastructure will be destroyed.

Wonder what the US aircraft carrier is doing these days? The Hooties drove a carrier group out of their operational waters in a hurry.

Along the top of the page are world regions. You can pick the country, region, or place of conflicts. Under Ukraine you can see a map and to the Right Side a list constantly updated of major strikes as verified.
