The disaster of the pride of the Russian Air Force: "The planes are destroyed, the pilot is dead"

A collision between two Russian Su-35S fighter jets occurred over the Kursk region, resulting in the death of one pilot and the ejection of another. The incident was reported by Russian military blogger Ilja Tumanov and confirmed by military correspondent Yuriy Kotenok, citing ongoing investigations into the exact circumstances. While the Russian Ministry of Defense and Ukrainian authorities have not independently verified these details at the time of the report, the pro-Russian Telegram channel 'Vojvoda Reports' accused Ukraine of responsibility for the event, which Ukraine has denied. The Su-35S is a highly advanced fourth-generation multirole fighter jet used extensively by Russia during its invasion of Ukraine. It is considered one of the most capable aircraft in the Russian fleet, equipped with advanced radar systems and long-range missiles.

Two Russian Su-35S fighters collided, one pilot killed

Two Russian Su-35S fighter jets collided above the Kursk region in Russia, resulting in the death of one pilot, according to The Moscow Times. Telegram channel 'Voevoda Veshchaet' claimed Ukraine was responsible for the accident and warned that Ukrainians would have to account for it. Ukraine has denied any involvement, and Russia's Defense Ministry had not issued an official statement by the time of publication. The Su-35S is a fourth-generation multirole fighter jet in Russia's arsenal, equipped with advanced radar systems and long-range air-to-air missiles. Recently, Ukrainian forces reportedly destroyed a MiG-29 fighter jet and a Ka-27 helicopter near airbases, following attacks on Russian airbases using unmanned aerial vehicles.
