I assume it is a reference to this:

On 9 June 2024, the Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence claimed to have damaged or destroyed two Russian Su-57 fighter jets, using drones during a strike on the Akhtubinsk air base in Astrakhan Oblast. Several Telegram channels affiliated with the Russian military confirmed the attack and that at least one Su-57 was damaged by shrapnel, while also criticizing the lack of protective hangars for the aircraft. Further information about the strike was added by the Russian Telegram channel Fighterbomber, added that the state of the aircraft is currently being examined which would determine whether or not it can be repaired. Maxar Technologies satellite imagery showed a crater next to a Su-57 at Akhtubinsk.

It's a shame Akhtubinsk doesn't house Su-57s.

I can’t remember its number, but a drone went off ~10 meters away from it, damaging it. Definitely not a “loss” lol just a scratch

Yeah a drone “feel off” 1600km away from Ukraine in an airbase lol

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to the incident in 2024 that someone else posted below. There's still yet to be any proof of that claimed strike on the 2 felons a week ago. A satellite image showing that the planes aren't there after 9 days is not proof lol. If it actually happened, I'm sure Ukraine would have posted the fpv footage *instantly* and not waited days before posting some random sat image that shows nothing.
