He did not provide any other details about the plane.

The call sign SU refers to aircraft manufactured by Sukhoi – the Russian military aircraft manufacturer.

“I am grateful to two of our particularly sharp warriors,” he says mysteriously.

“One of them, by the way, has already received the title of Hero of Ukraine and shot down not only enemy planes, but also a cruise missile,” the President of Ukraine noted.

The latest Ukrainian estimate of Russian losses over the last day: 500 troops, 3 tanks, 8 other battle tanks, 20 guns, 4 special vehicles, 2 different vehicles and 36 drones. Again, a large number of destroyed artillery pieces is noted, in just the last seven days, the Russian army lost 149 guns.
