Defense Blog, with reference to their sources, writes that on February 18, the SO-57 struck a rocket strike on Ukrainian purposes, using the Modern Winglata Missiles X-69, specially designed for this platform. It is reported that Su-57 entered the airspace of Ukraine, accompanied by two Su-35 fighters and operated from the occupied territory of Luhansk region. Meanwhile, the launch of the rocket was unsuccessful - it did not reach the goal and fell into the field.
Journalists say that despite the latest unsuccessful launch of the rocket, previous reports indicate the use of the Russians X-69 on February 7 and 8. This was reported by American observers on social networks. They noted that X-69 is a modernized modification of the X-59M, to which the DSMAC optical-electronic system was added. Earlier, we wrote in detail about the tactical and technical characteristics of the X-69 missile, which the invaders began to be used during air attacks in Ukraine.
