New satellite images of the airfield in the Astrakhan Oblast of the russian federation, where the Su-57 was hit, appeared online. Traces of fire are visible on them.
This is reported by The War Zone.
The pictures show that there are several planes similar to the Su-57 at the airfield. And there are traces of an explosion or fire on the concrete next to them. One such trace looks like a burnt hole from an explosion.
"Like the Defense Intelligence image, it shows burn marks and a small crater to the left of the cockpit of the middle plane. As we noted yesterday, the explosion, and especially the shrapnel from such a close explosion, would most likely have put holes in the plane and caused other damage," the message says.
A photo taken on June 7 before the attack, shows slight discoloration on the apron to the left of the plane, but no signs of burns or craters. The apron also features a silhouette of the Su-57, which the russians used in an attempt to disrupt Ukrainian strike operations.
There are no traces of fire near the other two planes.
We got new images from @Maxar of the Su-57 Budanov told me was damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack. They show two other Felons as well, These wider before and after views offer much more context and opportunity for comparative analysis.https://t.co/wYVZfU2LK2
