according to a report on the website of the u.s. national interest magazine on the 13th, russia has dispatched its most advanced su-57 stealth fighter to attack more than 40 targets in ukraine.

the report quoted an unnamed ukrainian air force official as saying that the russian su-57 fighter jets have been used to carry out "more than 40 attacks" on targets in ukraine in recent months. the stealth fighter is being used more and more frequently in combat. although russia only occasionally deployed the su-57 fighter jets before, its intensity and frequency of use have increased significantly.

the report said that the british ministry of defense had said in a report released in january this year that the russian aerospace forces' su-57 fighter jets "had only been used a few times" since the outbreak of the russian-ukrainian conflict. however, since the beginning of this year, the number of su-57s used has increased significantly. this fighter has been used to launch more than 30 cruise missiles, including the kh-69 stealth cruise missile, which was used to destroy a thermal power plant outside kiev on april 11 this year, and the launch location was outside ukrainian airspace.

the report believes that it is currently impossible to confirm the number of times the su-57 has been used to launch missiles at ukrainian targets, but based on the existing information, it is speculated that the russian military used this stealth fighter to attack ukrainian targets within russian airspace.
