Ukrainian armed forces uploaded video footage that reportedly shows air defense systems shooting down a Russian Su-34 fighter jet near the city of Kharkiv.
“Anti-aircraft missiles of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down another Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber in Kharkiv region,” military staff wrote in the description of the video.
Separately, armed forces also published pictures of the Russian warplane that was brought down by its air defenses, showing the aircraft burning in a large open field. The Epoch Times couldn’t immediately verify the photos or footage.
In another video uploaded by the country’s armed forces on April 5, Ukrainian paratroopers are seen firing an anti-aircraft missile from a Stugna-P, an anti-tank weapon system designed and manufactured in Ukraine, at a Russian attack helicopter flying in the Kharkiv region.
“This is the second case when Zhytomyr paratroopers use anti-tank weapons to destroy enemy air targets,” military staff wrote in the description of the video.
Kharkiv has been one of the cities where Russia has concentrated much of its firepower and the area is still partially surrounded by Russian forces.
