"This is a historical moment," Budanov said. According to him, one aircraft was shot down by the R-73 (AA-11 Archer) air-air missile with infrared. GUR used three Magura-7 drones for attack, two of which fired on planes. He explained that Magura-7 is an option Magura-5, but somewhat modified. Kirill Budanov also noted that the crew of the first Su-30 survived and was picked up in the Black Sea by a civil vessel. According to previous reports, the crew of the second aircraft was killed, he added.
GUR began to install AIM-9 on drones in January 2025. "We use several rockets on our Magura-7, but we get the best results with AIM-9," he said. Russian military expert Vladislav Shurrigin in his Telegram-channel reported that Ukraine had shot down the SU-30 for about 50 km west of Novorossiysk, "using the same tactics: they were laid and caught. " "The pilots have been catapult, and they were picked up by civilian sailors. Both are alive and the plane is to the hell.
The main thing is that people are alive," he wrote. Shrigin reproached the Russian military for allowing Ukrainian drones to be so effective. "The very fact of the SPR strike is not new because the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already been attacked in December last year. But for some reason, many are still amazed. And most importantly, there are means to combat this threat. As practice has shown tonight, even ordinary FPVs with competent operators.
" The special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in cooperation with the SBU and the defense forces of Ukraine in the Black Sea were liquidated by the Russian SU-30 on May 2. It is the first in the world destroying a combat aircraft with a sea drone. A multi -purpose Russian fighter with an estimated value of about $ 50 million, broke out in the air and fell into the sea. In his evening address, the President of Ukraine reported that on May 3, 2 hostile fighters were destroyed.
