And the war has not been going as smoothly as Russian President Vladimir Putin would have hoped. Do you remember the time when Ukrainian air forces reportedly shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter jet at the beginning of April? Now there’s another allegation that a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter, according to a tweet by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Today, May 27, at about 2 pm, a MiG-29 fighter of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter in the sky of the Kherson region," the air force said. The Su-35, it added, was "hunting for Ukrainian assault aircraft." "Glory to Ukrainian pilots! Death to the occupiers!" the statement added. A difficult offensive. Russia's offensive in Ukraine has not been going as smoothly as Russian President Vladimir Putin would have hoped, with the air war, in particular, being extremely difficult. In early April this year, the Ukrainian Air Force announced that it had shot down another Russian Su-35 fighter that was on a SEAD mission (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses). This event marked the first documented downed fighter of its kind in the Ukrainian war.
