Ukraine Downs Russian Su-35 After Major Drone Strikes on Russian Air Bases

Ukraine's Air Force shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter jet near Kursk on Saturday morning, June 7th, 2025, according to reports. This follows a large-scale drone attack last week targeting several key Russian military installations. The attacks damaged or destroyed tens of Russian strategic bombers, significantly impacting their long-range missile capabilities. The video shows footage of the downed Su-35 and the damage at Engels air base, a key fuel depot for Russian strategic bombers. While Ukraine has not yet officially confirmed the Su-35 takedown, the video suggests it might be a retaliatory action. The author states, "This Su-35 takedown might be Russia’s retaliation!" The drone strikes also targeted Dyagilevo air base, a crucial training center, and a Tambov electronics plant, potentially disrupting Russia's military electronics production. Bryansk airport, a logistics hub, was also hit. The incident raises concerns about potential escalation of the conflict. Further investigation is needed to independently verify all claims made in the video.
