Ukraine Su-27 fighter jet engages "Russian target" in rare intercept video

New footage has emerged purportedly showing a Ukrainian fighter jet firing on a Russian target at low altitude, as the battle for control of Ukraine's skies continues despite Russian numerical superiority in terms of aircraft.

A video posted to the Karymat Telegram channel on Tuesday and shared on social media shows what appears to be a Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jet in Ukrainian colors flying low over an unidentified area, firing a missile towards a target before banking away. It is not clear what the jet was intercepting, but the Karymat channel said it had fired an "air-to-air missile" at "an enemy air target."
