Details: According to Russian propaganda channels, the pilot managed to eject and survived. Russian sources claim that he has since returned to the positions held by Russian forces.

Meanwhile, Soniashnyk, a Telegram channel with ties to the Ukrainian Air Force, reported that the air battle had put a highly experienced Russian pilot out of action. According to the channel, he had caused significant problems for Ukraine's defence forces on this section of the front.

The Su-35 is one of the most advanced aircraft in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces. Russia regularly uses the jets to escort Su-34 fighter-bombers, which conduct heavy strikes with guided aerial bombs against Ukrainian positions and frontline towns.

Background: Ukraine's Air Force reported that it had shot down a Russian Su-35 multirole fighter jet over the eastern front on 8 July.
