1. The Russians have shot down their own Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik UAV, an extremely rare and highly classified drone, with only two ever made. The aircraft was reportedly destroyed due to loss of control and concerns about sensitive information being exposed if it landed in the West. The Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik-B, also known as Hunter-B, is a Russian stealth heavy unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) being developed by Sukhoi and Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG as part of a sixth-generation aircraft project.

2. Russian propagandist Rybar was force to admit that an Su-57 had to shoot down the S-70 because they lost communication and it was flying away from Russian occupied areas.

3. Didn’t want the West to know what canon dslr camera they use

4. The Ukrainians should try to hack and reverse engineer one of those things.

5. Someone was afraid if the west disassembled it and realized there was nothing high tech inside, people might realize he mightve embezzled all the funds

6. Yeah we might find the gameboy inside.

7. So stealth it can’t receive orders

8. Do they really think, that the ‘West’ is interested in obsolete or niche tech?

   Maybe, they believe (in) worse things …

9. Russia is doing their part to stop Russia.

10. For a stealth aircraft, that missile sure zeroed in on it pretty easily!

11. I think handing it over to the US MIC should be worth some long range missiles and the green light to use them on about any military target Ukraine deems necessary.

12. Why use an expensive AA missile instead of cannon?

13. Great job Russia, you never disappoint.

14. Doubt there’s anything groundbreaking to it. It’s Russian after all

15. Loss of control = “Someone” took control of the drone.

16. Oh my……. How embarrassing. Russia!!! Ur incompetence is showing!

17. Faulty washing machine chips again

18. Looks like they shot it down onto a house. Typical Russian activity. Love how much they care their people.
