Russia’s New Su-70 Stealth Drone Shot Down in Friendly Fire! (Only Two Built!)
Video Summary
A Russian stealth drone, the S-70 Okhotnik B, was recently shot down by a Russian fighter aircraft while flying over Ukraine. The incident is believed to be related to a malfunction, rather than friendly fire. The drone was likely being tested in a combat scenario when it was hit by damage, causing it to lose control and fly deeper into Ukraine. Russian forces quickly intercepted the drone, downing it to prevent it from falling into Ukrainian hands. The crash site shows debris with Russian markings, confirming the drone’s nationality. This incident is considered embarrassing for Russia, as the S-70 Okhotnik B is a highly advanced and costly project, with only two prototypes built so far. The loss of one of these drones, even before it was fully operational, is a significant blow to Russia’s military ambitions.
