Ukrainian media published footage of the destruction of a Russian Su-30SM aircraft using an AIM-9M Sidewinder missile launched from new Magura V7 naval drones. The video was filmed on May 2 near Crimea, on that day the Ukrainian army carried out a large-scale attack of naval drones and cruise missiles on Crimea and the city of Novorossiysk. The Su-30 aircraft carried out the destruction of Ukrainian cruise missiles. Despite the fact that Russian FPV drones destroyed Ukrainian naval drones. Apparently, they also decided to use the Su-30 to destroy Magura V7 naval drones. To destroy the naval drones, the Su-30 presumably descended to a low altitude using a 30-mm GSh-301 aircraft cannon. After that, the Su-30 fell within the range of the AIM-9M missile. AIM-9M Sidewinder air-to-air missiles have been produced in the United States since 1983, their range of hitting targets when launched from the ground is up to 7-8 km, the altitude of hitting targets is up to 3-4 kilometers. It is worth noting this is the first hit by the Ukrainian Magura V7 naval drone of a Su-30 aircraft. The pilots were reportedly rescued. The use of the Su-30SM to hit naval drones indicates that the defense of the Crimean coast is insufficiently developed.
