Did the Russian Su-57 Fighter Finally Get Shot Down? Clarifications from Both Sides

Ukrainian channels report that the Russian channels are denying it, accusing them of spreading fake news. Specifically, Ukrainian channels reported the downing of a Su-57 aircraft at Akhtubinsk Airport. The extent of the damage is being verified. It is reported that the fighter will not be able to carry out combat missions at this time. According to spreading information, one unit is valued at 2 billion rubles.

"The Su-57 was damaged by shrapnel, and it is currently being assessed whether it can be restored or not. If not, this would be the first combat loss of a Su-57 in history," stated Fightbomber.

On the other hand, Russian channels reported that the Su-57 fighter suffered no damage after attempts to attack the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Although Akhtubinsk military airport was indeed attacked by Ukrainian drones, the fighter remained unharmed.
