THIS is the dramatic moment a Russian stealth drone is shot out of the sky by Vladimir Putin’s Su-57 warplane.
The £11.5 million S-70 Okhotnik stealth drone can be seen exploding in the air in the extraordinary footage.
Video of the incident shows two Kremlin military aircrafts speeding across the sky over eastern Ukraine when the trailing plane fires a missile which hits the one in front.
Russian pro-war Z channels initially claimed that a Ukrainian war plane had been hit by a Russian aircraft.
However, the burnt wreckage on the ground near Ukrainian-controlled Kostiantynivka had distinct Russian insignia on it.
The humiliating error has been described as "friendly fire" gone wrong.

If so - no excuses.
That’s a copy of the Lockheed RQ-170 drone that Obama gave to the Iranians
They have had 12 years to reverse engineer and get things right
Iran has been flying them for the last several years and it’s a pretty effective knock off
Makes a pretty effective stealth cruise missile too and it can carry tactical nukes
So Milley and the Russians were wrong since those parade uniforms have rotted away for 30 months...

Kremlin snuff box, 10/05/24

We lost a unique drone, but it could have been worse. What happened in the skies over the DPR?
This morning, information was spread in Ukrainian public pages that a Russian plane was allegedly shot down in the skies over the DPR. First Su-25, then allegedly Su-34. Video recordings of the incident are circulating in the channels, where it is clear that the plane was shot down by our fighter.
We clarified what exactly was shot down over the DPR on Saturday morning. It turns out that these were unsuccessful tests of the new S-70 Okhotnik drone. At some point, the operator lost control of the drone and received a command to shoot it down. To prevent the drone from falling into enemy hands.
But it’s worth tempering the ardor of some colleagues about the mass production of these drones. So far, alas, not as much as we would like. And, as we see, “Hunter” needs improvement. Because in order to eliminate it, we had to take risks and send a real fighter with a real pilot to the front line. I was lucky that everything worked out fine.

Kurch, crests, exhale.
All our planes and crews are at home. Alive, healthy and whole.
Well, it happens that there is less space for the drone. That’s why they are tests.
Putin boasted it would take 2 weeks to take Kyiv.
Barroso said he asked Putin if Russian troops had crossed into eastern Ukraine, La Repubblica reports. “That is not the question,” Putin reportedly said. “But if I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.”
Most of those men who brought the parade uniforms are probably long dead anyway.
YouCraynee solders retreating on a daily basis.
How is that Ukie “Victory Plan” going?
Looks like The Ukie GlobalHomo “Victory Plan” is working real good.
For Bad Boy Pooty-Poo. LOL.
Disgusting that our Ukie Zeepers are aligned with Democrats.
Where is that Ukie “Victory Plan”?
ANSWER: Same place/outcome as the 2023 Ukie “Spring Offensive”

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Dramatic moment ‘Russian £11.5m stealth drone is shot out of the sky by Putin’s OWN fighter jet in friendly fire blast’, marktwain wrote: Rather telling the backers of Putin on freerepublic start with personal attacks, including the use of the perjorative "zeepers". One of the classic "tells" of losing the argument is the use of personal attacks.
After months of being attacked as 'Putinistas' or 'Ruzzian,' some who are against NATO's proxy war in Ukraine may reply in kind.
You are partaking of a version of this yourself by implying anyone against NATO's proxy war in the Ukraine, and against the US sending almost 200 Billion tax payer dollars to Deep State corruption headquarters in Ukraine, are by definition 'the backers of Putin on freerepublic.' Rather telling indeed.
You are so full of crap.
You know full well none of us who have different views on U.S. Funding
YouCrayne have never mentioned or predicted Kiev in 24 Hours.
Yet, you keep bringing up that worn out response.
I challenge you to name 1 Non-Zeeper who have posted that worn out line.
If you continue to use that same line, attribute it to the Media and Mark Milley
who did use that line, not fellow Freepers.
The Nato head, Stoltenberg, just stated Ukraine needs to give up Vlads ethnic Russian territories if it wants to SURVIVE….finally an admission.

Shouldn’t that be “YouCrayCray”?
I suggest the war cheerleaders view the video, it quotes FT saying Ukraine will now give territory concessions to Russia to end the war…..well, well, well….something many of us knew from day one.. violating the Minsk agreements destroyed them.
Donbas in 3 days!
