The Ukrainian military has increased its retaliation against the Russian military as the Russia-Ukraine war approaches its 40th day. The latest clip, which has gone popular on social media, shows the Ukrainian military shooting down a Su-35 fighter plane, also known as Russia’s beast-attacking aircraft, near the city of Izyum.

An Su-35 dived vertically before pancaking in the Kharkiv region, according to a video shared online on Sunday. Several sources confirmed the photographs depicted the wreckage of a Su-35, Russia’s most advanced and contemporary platform. It went into full operation in 2018.

The Su-35S was shot down by Ukrainian air defences, according to Ukrainian sources, albeit this cannot be confirmed at this time. A video has surfaced showing the plane in flames crashing to the ground. The pilot of the Flanker derivative was arrested by Ukrainian forces after surviving the ejection.
