on october 5, ukrainian and russian sources began reporting that a plane had been shot down in the konstantinivka region on the donetsk front.

ukrainian media initially reported that a russian su-34 fighter jet had been shot down, and later said it was a su-25 attack aircraft, which was said to be carrying glide bombs.

soon thereafter, in a very short period of time, a flood of photos and videos from the wreckage site appeared on the internet.

based on the published material, it is clear that this was a russian aircraft that crashed in ukrainian-controlled territory.

the wreckage was initially mistakenly believed to belong to a su-25. one small detail that some people immediately noticed was an atypical camouflage pattern that had never been seen before on a russian su-25.

various sources subsequently released numerous videos showing the aircraft being shot down by russian friendly fire from another aircraft, as well as footage of the wreckage falling to the ground.

the shape of the fallen debris did not match the shape of the su-25 fuselage.

with the release of more materials and clearer photos of the wreckage, it was finally determined that the crashed aircraft was a russian sukhoi s-70 okhotnik-b stealth heavy unmanned combat aircraft (ucav).

a military informant said that due to a technical failure, the drone flew into enemy territory, and friendly russian air forces were forced to shoot it down in order to prevent the drone from falling into enemy hands intact.

the appearance of the "hunter" on the russian-ukrainian battlefield is a unique event, because this drone has been developed for many years, but has not yet participated in combat.

according to reports, the drone was carried by the russian militarysu-57shoot down!

su-57 fighter jets have been active on the russian-ukrainian battlefield for some time, launching kh-69 cruise missiles, and there have been reports of some air-to-air engagements.

the s-70 drone is also undergoing combat testing on the russian-ukrainian battlefield.
