Russia has used Su-57 aircraft for attacks on Ukraine before, but the Russians are trying to protect them from being shot down. This was said by the spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ilya Yevlash, on the air of the telethon.
It was from this plane that missiles were launched over Ukraine yesterday. “The Russians have used the Su-57 aircraft before, but they are trying to keep it at a long distance,” Yevlash noted. According to him, the enemy understands that he can be hit by Ukrainian air defense. “They understand that this is a rather expensive rattle and they take great care of it. It is an expensive and kind of toy for them,” said the Air Force spokesman.
These planes can carry Kh-69 missiles, which were probably used to destroy the most powerful power plant in Kyiv Region – Trypil TPP.
