Ukraine Hits Top Su-57 Fighter Jet Inside Russia

Ukrainian forces have damaged an advanced Russian Su-57 jet hundreds of miles away from the frontlines, Kyiv's spy agency said on Sunday, adding this is the "first such case in history."

One of Russia's Su-57 jets was struck on Saturday at the Akhtubinsk airfield, in the southern Russian republic of Astrakhan, Kyiv's GUR military intelligence agency said in a statement. The site is around 365 miles from the current frontlines in eastern Ukraine, according to the GUR.

Moscow has been keen to keep its top-of-the-line, fifth-generation Su-57 stealth jets far away from Ukraine's air defense systems.
