Why Russia Shot Down Its Own S-70 Drone Over Ukraine
The wreckage of one of Russia’s newest stealth drones is now in the hands of the Ukrainian forces—a potential intelligence windfall for that country and its partners—after a Russian fighter chased, then shot it down over Ukrainian territory Oct. 5.
A series of videos posted to social media show a Russian fighter—likely an Su-57 Felon—shooting down the S-70 Okhotnik (Hunter-B) north of Donetsk with a short-range air-to-air missile. Further footage showed the flying-wing-type aircraft spiraling to the ground, where the wreckage was claimed by Ukrainian forces.
