A Russian Su-30SM is reportedly missing after launching missiles towards Ukraine.
A Russian Su-30SM fighter jet disappeared off radar over the Black Sea on late Tuesday, raising concerns that the aircraft may have crashed.According to reports from the Telegram channel Crimean Wind, which cited Russian media sources, the jet had been conducting missile launches towards Ukraine before it vanished.The Su-30SM, a multi-role fighter aircraft, reportedly fired four Kh-31P anti-radiation missiles toward mainland Ukraine during its mission.
The latest incident involving the missing Su-30SM adds to a series of recent aviation mishaps in Russia, raising concerns over the safety and reliability of the country's military aircraft. In late August, a Russian Mi-8 helicopter carrying approximately 20 people went missing, further fueling discussions about the operational challenges facing Russia's military aviation.Earlier this year, a Su-34 fighter-bomber crashed in the republic of North Ossetia, killing the crew on board.
