One of the OSINT publications claims that the enemy plane was destroyed by the GUR fighters of the MoD.

Russian occupation forces continue to suffer losses in the full-scale war waged against Ukraine. In particular, the enemy could lose a valuable unit – the Su-30 fighter .

The disappearance of the Russian plane on the night of September 11 was reported by the Crimean Wind Telegram channel . It apparently took off from the Saki airfield for launching Kh-31P missiles, but disappeared from radars. 

“The Su-30SM, together with the Su-35, while over the sea north of Sevastopol, launched Kh-31P missiles. The Su-30SM fired 4 missiles out of 6 available, (fired at the towers in the sea), after which it disappeared from the radar screen. The fighter was based at the airfield in Krymsk (Krasnodar region of Russia). Now there is a commotion in the flight units regarding the non-return of the board to the airfield,” the message said. 

Subsequently, the Russian Z-blogger Figterbomber published a black-and-white photo of the fighter, succinctly commenting on it with three points:

Meanwhile, one of the OSINT publications “Eye of the Mountain” writes that the Russian plane could have been shot down by fighters of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. 

“There, by the way, the Ministry of Defense of Russia wrote that the GUR fighters tried again at night to seize one of the gas production platforms in the Black Sea. It will be funny if the Su-30SM was shot down by the GUR soldiers from the MANPADS that was on the boat. UPD: The Su-30SM was shot down from the MANPADS on boats of the GUR Ministry of Defense”, the message says. 

It is worth noting that the price of one such aircraft is about 33 million dollars.
