Ukrainian forces have released new drone footage showing the crash site of russian Su-35 multirole fighter jet that was shot down on July 8. The video, published by Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps, captures both the aircraft's final moments and the wreckage left behind after the interception.
The footage includes aerial views recorded by one of the corps' reconnaissance drones, documenting the fighter's descent and impact before moving in for close-up images of the burning debris. The video offers one of the clearest looks yet at the aftermath of the aircraft's destruction.

According to the 3rd Army Corps, the wreckage lies within its area of responsibility, where the aircraft came down after being engaged by Ukrainian air defenses.
The Ukrainian Air Force had announced the Su-35 jet's destruction on July 8, describing the aircraft as russian multirole fighter operating on the eastern front. While military officials have not disclosed the exact weapon system used to shoot it down, the incident represents another reported loss for russia's tactical aviation.
As Defense Express previously reported, Ukrainian paratroopers captured an intact russian T-72 main battle tank without firing a shot after its crew reportedly abandoned the vehicle when it ran out of fuel during a retreat.
