It is known that Russia mobilized up to 6 Su-57 fighters to carry out the recent attack on Odessa with Kh-69 missiles.

According to Ukrainian press, 6 fifth-generation stealth fighters Su-57 Felon and front-line bombers Su-34 Fullback were mobilized by the Russian Aerospace Forces for the latest attack on the city of Odessa. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

The aforementioned fighter squadron attacked several military targets in Odessa and the surrounding area with Kh-69 cruise missiles, also known as Kh-59MK2 (launched from Su-57) and Kh-35U (launched from Su-34). According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

The Russian Weapon telegram channel specializing in Russian weapons said: "The Su-34 frontline bomber participating in the battle is the latest version of the Su-34NVO equipped with many modern weapons to detect and attack targets." According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

At 8:10 p.m. on October 30, the Odessa authorities were warned of the presence of Russian aircraft over the Black Sea. After 11 minutes, air raid sirens sounded throughout the city, and at 8:41 p.m. the announcement: “Missiles from Crimea! Everyone take cover” was issued. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

Next, at 20:57, Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov reported a powerful explosion in the city, but the head of the local government did not provide further details. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

Preliminary information shows that the missile flew to the Zatoka area, which is a strategic traffic artery because of the railway bridge connecting Ukraine with NATO allies, so aid mainly passes through here. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

Military experts note that the mobilization of a large number of Su-57 stealth fighters by the Russian Aerospace Forces shows that significant progress has been made in testing their capabilities, allowing for their use at a higher frequency. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

Meanwhile, as for the Kh-69 missile, the weapon appears to have completed all the necessary tests to be widely used in attacks by Russian fighter jets, according to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

The developer explained that the square cross-section of the missile makes it easy to fit into the body of the fifth-generation stealth fighter Su-57. The Kh-69 is a multi-purpose missile with a small radar cross-section and high accuracy. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

Stealth from enemy air defense radars is mainly provided by the shape of the missile body and special coating, the inclusion in the weapons bay also ensures the Su-57's mobility. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

The Russians say that the air defense systems of any potential opponent have no chance of shooting down the Kh-69. In addition to the Su-57, other fighters such as the Su-35, Su-30SM and Su-34 can carry the above ammunition. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

The purpose of the new missile has also attracted attention, as it was designed to destroy infrastructure, including railway stations and transport hubs. Analysts believe this is part of Russia's military strategy in Ukraine, according to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

Especially in the context of the West's announcement of large-scale transfers of high-precision long-range weapons to Ukraine, it can be assumed that the Kh-69 will be very useful in destroying the road and bridge system to block the flow of military aid. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.

The Kh-69 is also capable of hitting ammunition and fuel depots, command and communications centers; oil refineries; large production facilities, power plants... These targets also fit into Russia's concept of operations in Ukraine. According to Rossiskaya Gazeta.
