Ukrainian forces allegedly shoot down Russian Su-35 fighter jet over Black Sea

The Ukrainian Army claims to have successfully downed the Russian Su-35 near the Russian-occupied city of Zaliznyi Port in the Kherson Oblast, which is approximately 50km away from the nearest Ukrainian army position.

However, the Command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not officially confirmed the incident of a Russian fighter jet being downed.

The Su-35 is a fourth-generation multi-purpose fighter aircraft developed by the Sukhoi State Design Bureau and is an upgraded version of the Su-27. (ILKHA)
