Ukraine said on Sunday (5) had slaughtered a Russian SU-30 hunt in the Black Sea using a maritime drone for the first time.
“This is the first time in the world that a combat aircraft was destroyed by a maritime drone,” said Ukraine’s defense intelligence in a statement on Saturday, adding that the drone “caught fire to the air and ended up falling into the sea.”

THE CNN could not independently verify the allegations of Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Defense did not comment on the incident, although the claim was supported by a Russian military blogger.
