VIDEO ⟩ Expensive Russian attack drone – “Ohotnik” shot down in Ukraine

“Ohotnik” is like the size of a fighter plane.

Looking at the published images, it is difficult to clearly determine what type of aircraft. True, some elements of the wing are very similar to the wing of the S-70, according to “Radio Brivība”.

For the version it was dronesnot a plane, also agrees Ruslans Leviev, head of the CIT analytical center for Russian emigrants.

Russian channels claim that the S-70 was shot down by “friendly fire”.

According to Russian bloggers, this was the drone’s first combat test. At the end of the test flight, control was lost.

The S-70 reportedly went out of combat duty and was shot down by the accompanying Russian fighter to prevent the aircraft from falling into the hands of the Ukrainian side.

Ukrainian officials, including the head of the Kostyaniivka administration, Serhiy Khorbunov, initially said that a Russian warplane had been shot down.

Investigative channels said it was about the Su-25.

Later, Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Combating Disinfection of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said that there is a new version – that the Okhotnik drone was shot down.

“Complete clarity will come after the wreckage is examined,” the official said.

The pro-Russian channel “Telegram” “Voyennij osvedomitel” reports that four such drones have been produced.
