The Defense Forces destroyed two russian Su-30 aircraft in the Black Sea using AIM-9 Sidewinder infrared-guided air-to-air missiles.
The head of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, told this to The War Zone, RBC-Ukraine reports.

Thus, Ukrainian reconnaissance aircraft shot down two Su-30 Flanker multi-role fighters using AIM-9 Sidewinder infrared-guided air-to-air missiles.

This is the first time that fighters have been shot down by unmanned boats, and the first use of AIM-9 from an unmanned boat to destroy the enemy.

Those aren't as easily replaced by donkeys or scooters. 

It should make this Victory Day even gloomier.
