Hrm, then it sounds like it wasn't nearly as "stealthy" as they hoped...

No, you see, this is just how amazing Russian AA missiles are!
Aren't engine exhausts like that highly counterproductive for stealth aircraft? Are they still stuck with their same engine they used on their fighter jets that also caused them to have stealth issues?
It's immensely noticeable on radar. That giant round engine is going to stick out like a sore thumb on radar and IR.

There was one built with a flat nozzle in 2021, so uh, guess this was the first one of the two
You see Ivan, it was not visible on our radars, and as you know, we don't have the technology to not be on the radar. Thus, it must've been the enemy!
Maybe that was the point? They checked how easy it was to be detected by an anti aircraft missile?
Expensive way to check.
Those orcs waste so many resources on dumb stuff, so many... It somehow became their signature move in the 21st century.
Why would they do that over Ukraine?
If the Russian missile fails, it will automatically be tested against western radars and anti-aircraft missiles.
I suspect they shot it down because they lost control and it was heading towards Ukrainian airspace
The one and only! The mighty! Su-70!
Oh shit where is it?
This is a carjack!
No actually this is a Su-70 and my name is not Jack?
