The downed Russian plane was identified in the Kharkiv region. A photo of the Su-30SM multipurpose fighter was published in his social networks by journalist Andrey Tsaplienko.
It is believed that this Russian plane was shot down in the spring in the Izyum direction.
The wreckage of the Russian aircraft has tail number RF81771.
The Russian Su-30SM fighter belonged to the 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment of the PKS RF.
Recall that on March 13, at an altitude of 6 thousand meters, south of Izyum, a Russian SU-30 fighter was shot down over Ukraine, flying to attack Balakleya. Then the deputy commander of the 14th regiment of the PKS of Russia Sergey Kosik was captured.
It was this regiment that from the first days of the war dropped bombs on Kharkovites.
The Su-30SM is a two-seat aircraft, it is more adapted to work on ground targets. The fighter is capable of using air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons.
The first contracts for the supply of Su-30SM fighters to the Russian army were signed in 2012.
