The Kremlin, along with Vladimir Putin, has reacted intensely to the strike on the Su-57 fighter jet, according to Andriy Yusov, a spokesperson of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
“We can confirm the strike took place. Regarding the details of the operation, we can neither confirm nor deny specifics. However, it’s significant news: Putin is furious, and the reaction within the Kremlin is very heated and palpable. This is particularly notable because the Su-57 aircraft were intended to be kept hidden and protected. These jets were never deployed into Ukrainian airspace due to concerns they might be shot down,” Andriy Yusov stated.
