A Russian Su-30SM fighter jet was destroyed in a fire at the Rostov-on-Don Central airfield.

This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on Facebook, as cited by Ukrinform.

“Another act of resistance against Putin’s criminal regime inside Russia – a multirole fighter jet, the aggressor’s Su-30SM with tail number ‘35’, caught fire and burned down at the Rostov-on-Don Central airfield,” the statement reads.

According to the intelligence directorate, the estimated value of the destroyed aircraft is $50 million.
