The Russians have again shot down their own Su-35S fighter jet with an export value of more than $100m - a week has passed since the first friendly fire

Friendly fire from the Russian air defence on Friday is already a tradition. Today it became known about the destruction of another Su-35S fighter jet.

Here's What We Know

Last Friday, Russian air defence intercepted its own fourth-generation aircraft in the Zaporozhye region. Today, the Russians shot down a Su-35S near Mariupol in the Donetsk region.

The fighter jet was making a combat sortie. According to Russian propagandists, the pilot managed to eject. Locals report that the fighter fell in the field, so we are waiting for photos soon.

The remains of the downed Su-35S last week were found a day later by a Ukrainian SHARK drone. The cost of the fourth-generation fighter exceeds $100m if we are talking about the export version of the aircraft.
