Ukrainian forces claim to have shot down a Russian fighter jet worth almost £40million over the Black Sea with US-built missiles in another humiliation for President Vladimir Putin. The aircraft was reported to have been lost last night after launching several missiles towards Ukraine,

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has published a video that it claims shows the destruction of a Russian Su-30SM Flanker multirole fighter, which it says was brought down by a shoulder-launched surface-to-air missile over the Black Sea.
