On May 13, a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber, a Su-35 fighter and two Mi-8 combat helicopters were hit in the skies of the Bryansk region, killing 11 pilots. Information about the cause of the incident appeared on the web.
A former Su-34 pilot, and now a Fighterbomber expert and blogger, reported in his telegram channel that 4 Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft were shot down by the American Patriot air defense system. Practice shows that information from this source is usually true.
If this information is correct, it turns out that the Ukrainians managed to quietly transfer the American anti-aircraft missile system to the border with the Russian Federation, deploy it, turn on the radar and shoot down Russian planes.
Earlier, a number of sources presented a version of the activities of Ukrainian saboteurs who entered the territory of Russia and shot down aircraft with the help of MANPADS in the Klintsovsky district of the Bryansk region. It was also assumed that the destruction of the aircraft of the Russian Federation by the Ukrainian armed forces was carried out from the Chernihiv region.
