The strangest things happen.
An S-70 drone seems to have suffered a malfunction behind enemy lines.
An Su-57 approached at close range and destroyed it at really close range.

Considerations:

1 - As we can see the Su-57 is fully operational and has good sealth capabilities, it was flying behind enemy lines without being shot down.
It is likely that the Su-57 was the mother ship of the drone.
2 - The same applies to the S-70!
Sanctions here, sanctions there....
But now Russia has this advanced drone in service.
3 - The downside is that the wreckage will be investigated by the USA, in this sense this is one of the accepted risks of UAV use, as when Iran captured the CIA spy drone RQ-170 which was intact. In this case the drone was hit hard, so many components cant be studied the engines and such were not as advanced as in the russian piloted sealth jets, since it's a subsonic UAV.

My reading of the event is positive, because it shows that the industry is performing much better than previously thought.
We will produce more.
