Russian Su-57 attempts air-to-air kills near Sumy

A Russian Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet has attempted to engage Ukrainian tactical aircraft in the Sumy Oblast region. The aircraft made two separate attempts to shoot down Ukrainian planes near the settlement of Terny using R-37 and R-77 air-to-air missiles. This represents a rare instance of Russia's most advanced fighter being deployed in air-to-air combat operations against Ukrainian forces. The engagement occurred in northeastern Ukraine where Russian forces have been active in recent weeks. The outcome of the missile attempts remains unclear at this time.
