Ukrainian officials claim that a Russian Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jet was shot down by Russian forces over Crimea. The incident was attributed to a “human factor,” where an operator mistakenly targeted their own aircraft. Despite conflicting reports and speculation, the Russian Ministry of Defense has not officially commented on the crash. This event adds to Russia’s recent aviation losses, including a significant number of warplanes lost in late February and March due to various reasons.
