Su-57 defeat: satellite images appeared

Satellite images of the consequences of the attack on the Akhtubinsk airfield, where the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57 was first hit, appeared on the Internet. The photos were published on Monday, June 10, by The Warzone.

It has already been mentioned that in the photo, as in the photo published earlier by the Main Intelligence Directorate, burnt marks and a small crater in the concrete can be seen to the left of the aircraft cabin, which is located in the center. Analysts said the blast and shrapnel from such a nearby explosion likely punctured the plane and caused other damage. Another blast mark can be seen on the rear of the plane, where there is a small hole in the concrete.

There is a white spot on the top of the fuselage behind the cockpit, which analysts say could be a tarp that the Russians may have used to cover damaged parts of the fighter.

“Another white streak coming out of the inside of the wing appears to be a sun flare. It’s also present in the power steering image, which was confusing at the time, but now makes sense in the context of new images that include others more jets nearby,” the story said..

As The Warzone writes, the new photos give more confidence that the Su-57 is still damaged, because, as the publication notes, “the crater of the explosion is clearly defined and located near the fighter. “

Let’s recall that on June 9, the Main Intelligence Directorate announced the first defeat of a Su-57 aircraft in Russia. Intelligence did not specify where exactly the airport in Akhtubinsk was attacked. Social networks reported that the Su-57 lost its combat capability after the attack.
