Russia loses two fighter jets in single day: reports

Russia has lost two jets in under 24 hours, according to new reports, in the latest show of damage to Moscow's air force sustained in the nearly two years of war in Ukraine.

Russia lost an Su-34 fighter-bomber aircraft after Ukraine attacked a Russian air base on Saturday night into Sunday morning, Ukrainian media reported. Separately, Ukraine's air force said Moscow had shot down one of its own Su-25 tactical bomber jets on Sunday.

Russia's air force has suffered since the Kremlin launched its war effort in Ukraine back in February 2022. According to Ukraine's military, Russia has lost 324 aircraft since the start of all-out war. But Ukraine's military has not listed any new aircraft losses for Moscow in its recent updates.
