Pro-Ukraine group claims cyberattack downed Russian Su-57 fighter jet

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A pro-Ukraine intelligence group, InformNapalm, claims to have facilitated a cyberattack that led to a Russian Su-57 stealth fighter jet being shot down by its own air defense system. While Russian state media reported the incident as a technical malfunction during a training mission near Moscow, InformNapalm alleges that Ukrainian cyber specialists turned the Russian 'BARS Moscow' air defense system against the aircraft. The group further stated that they had previously acquired and leaked documents related to the Su-57's components, contributing to the operation. AI
