Hsmilitarycom: The transfer of Su-57 fighter jets to Ukraine could be due to carrying out five different missions. This was reported by Military Watch. PolitRussia presents an exclusive retelling of the article.

The Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jet is used as part of military special operations in Ukraine. This was reported by TASS with reference to sources at the military-industrial complex last week.

According to defense industry representatives, the Sau-57 fighter jets operated outside the zone of active destruction by the ukrainian air defense system.
