Russia's Su-57 stealth fighter destroyed before takeoff
Original: sukhoi su-57
Reports from OSINT sources say a Russian Su-57 stealth fighter caught fire and exploded at a military airfield in Astrakhan Oblast, with the jet apparently destroyed before it could take off. The fighter, valued at roughly $150 million, is Russia's most advanced combat aircraft, and Ukrainian media are highlighting the loss as a significant blow to Moscow's air power.
Why now: The apparent destruction of Russia's flagship stealth fighter is a rare and costly loss for the Russian military.
