Su-57 fighter jet shot down the latest heavy drone C-70 Okhotnik

The previous morning, an incident occurred in the Konstantinovka area involving the newest Russian drone C-70 Okhotnik, known for its impressive technical characteristics, including a wingspan of 19 meters. As reported by the Rostov Main Telegram channel, the drone lost control and had to be shot down with a Su-57 fighter jet to prevent possible consequences.

"In the morning, the newest Russian drone C-70 "Okhotnik" (wingspan - 19 meters) lost control and had to be shot down by our Su-57 fighter. The wreckage fell in the area of ​​occupied Konstantinovka"- said in the message.

The incident has caused a wide resonance among both military analysts and civilians, as the loss of such a high-tech device could become a serious problem for the further use of the latest weapons systems in the conflict zone. Considering that the Okhotnik is one of the most advanced developments of the Russian defense industry, many are discussing the reasons that led to the failure in its operation.

As reported by Rostov Glavny, eyewitnesses say that a pair of Okhotnik drones had been in the Konstantinovka, Alekseevo-Druzhkovka and Druzhkovka areas for several days, performing surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Ukrainian forces were unable to shoot down the drones from the ground, allowing them to freely carry out their missions. However, sources claim that in recent days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) have made several attempts to intercept them from the air, but they have been unsuccessful.
