A newly deployed Russian Lancet drone was seen making a direct hit on the cockpit of a grounded Ukrainian Su-25 fighter jet, according to footage shared by Russian war correspondent Andrey Rudenko.
The journalist published a brief video of the strike on his Telegram channel on Tuesday, noting the attack took place at the Dolgintsevo airfield near the city of Krivoy Rog. Filmed from a bird’s-eye view by another surveillance drone, the footage shows a loitering munition descending upon a Ukrainian war plane parked at the base, appearing to hit the jet dead-center.
“These images are notable for the fact that the Ukrainian fighter was destroyed by a new loitering ammunition with a range of up to 120 kilometers,” Rudenko added.
