Ukraine’s armed forces say they have struck some of Russia’s most advanced combat aircraft 1,060 miles inside Russian territory, in one of the deepest drone attacks of the war.
Drones hit Su-57 stealth fighters and Su-34 bombers at Shagol airbase in the Chelyabinsk region, said Kyiv military sources. The strikes occurred on 25 April although Ukraine is still assessing the damage. Each Su-57 is worth around £30 million, and the Su-34 about £27 million. The strike against Vladimir Putin’s most modern warplanes – far beyond the Ural Mountains – is a first for Ukraine, if confirmed.
