Observe a R-73 AAM embedded into the ground along with much of the wing; seems it came down hard. pic.twitter.com/GuJnRkhS41
As the Russian Army couldn't be bothered to remove the wreckage of Su-30SM 'RF-81773' that came down in a formerly Russian-controlled part of Kharkiv Oblast, Western intelligence agencies are now the proud owner of a slightly dented SAP-518SM 'Regata' jamming pod. pic.twitter.com/9BN5dPNQvi

So Su-30SM RF-81773/62 Red found shot down near Izyum, along with RF-81771/60 Red found nearby earlier were both from the VKS 14th Fighter Aviation Regiment (IAP) based at Khalino AB (Kursk Oblast). Both were new airframes, having been delivered in 2018 pic.twitter.com/ZyIikfqU1V
