Su-57 was hit for the first time

On June 8, 2024, a Su-57 multi-purpose fighter of the aggressor state was hit on the territory of the Akhtubinsk airfield in the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation, located 589 kilometers from the line of combat.

This is evidenced by satellite images of the aircraft parking at the enemy airfield.

The pictures show that on June 7th, the Su-57 was standing intact, and on the eighth, there were ruptures from the explosion and characteristic spots of fire caused by fire damage near it.

The Su-57 is Moscow’s most modern fighter, which can be used to attack the Kh-59 and Kh-69 missiles.

A few units of the specified combat aircraft are in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Su-57 damage is the first such case in history.

Glory to Ukraine!

        “Just being invisible” - Tough to please aren’t you :D

        Wikipedia says:

        • Silent
        • Invisible
        • 2000mph (mach 2.6) (later upgraded to faster than light)
        • fog penetrating rainbow rays
        • intergalactic travel
        • controlled by thoughts
        • sentient

        So not a bad piece of kit

          Well I am not a comic nerd so I just onow it is invisible. I see now it does have quite some cool abilities. But I see none that would make it more tough. So if it were parked and got bombed, it would probably still be destroyed.

            I’m not a comic person either, I only knew the invisible bit as well.

            Still, cant be bombed if you cant find it. It also has some regen ability as well, so that would help if someone did get lucky. Other benefit is that it comes with some pretty strong plot armor :)
