Details of the operation to shoot down Russian planes with Magura drones have emerged (video)

The fighters of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine destroyed the second Russian plane in a day from a surface drone.

As a result of the operation of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in Crimea, another Russian fighter was eliminated. This was announced in an evening address by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a video message.

“The shooting down of a Russian plane from our sea drone was brilliant. Proof of Ukrainian capabilities. Our army carried out an operation against military facilities in the territory of Crimea very accurately. Minus one more — the second Russian plane in a day. Military depots were also destroyed,” the head of state commented.

As the head of the Defense Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov later reported, soldiers of the Group 13 special unit destroyed Russian Su-30 planes with AIM-9 missiles — strikes were carried out from Magura-7 sea drone platforms.

The crew of the first Russian Su-30 was rescued by a civilian ship in the Black Sea. The second enemy Su-30 was destroyed in Crimea – the crew did not survive.

Recall that on the night of May 3, the Ukrainian military shot down a Russian Su-30 fighter. For the first time in history, this was done using a naval drone.

The plane, whose cost is estimated at approximately $ 50 million, fell into the sea near the port of Novorossiysk, where the remains of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are located.
