The Ukrainian Air Force shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter jet this morning, the Ukrainian army announced, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
“This morning, on June 7, 2025, as a result of a successful operation of the Air Force in the Kursk direction, a Russian Su-35 fighter jet was shot down“, the Ukrainian military announced on the “Telegram” application.
Kiev did not provide further details. Russian forces have not yet commented on the matter, and Reuters said it could not independently verify the information.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) carried out a large-scale drone operation against more than 40 Russian military aircraft late last week, damaging or destroying dozens of Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers that Russia uses to launch long-range missiles into Ukraine, Reuters recalled.
