April 26, 1986.

The disaster at Chernobyl, located about 65 miles from Kiev in the former Soviet Union, is the worst nuclear power plant accident to date.

50 tons of radioactive material was released into the atmosphere after an explosion of the Number 4 reactor, caused by an engineering experiment.

The 30,000 residents of the nearby community of Pripyat were evacuated the next day.

The Soviet government attempted a cover-up.

But two days after the disaster, radiation levels 800 miles away in Sweden were detected at 40% higher than the normal level.

32 people were initially killed in the Chernobyl plant.

5,000 Soviets eventually died from radiation-induced illnesses.

Millions of acres of forest and farmland across Northern and Eastern Europe were contaminated.

The former residents of Pripyat have never returned

Russia's Su-57 'Felon': The Stealth Fighter Jet Redefining Aerial Warfare and Dominating Skies

The Su-57 'Felon' is arguably the only fighter jet developed by the Russian Federation. For the 34 years of its existence (since the collapse of the USSR), the Russian Federation has struggled to create all-new fighter jets. For decades, Russia has been able to upgrade and rebrand old Soviet platforms continuously—largely slapping upgrades and bigger designation numbers on its inherited Soviet models. But how much longer can this continue? Su-57 is a fifth-generation Russian multi-functional fighter jet designed to destroy all kinds of air, surface, and surface targets. #Su57 #Felon #RussianFighterJet #StealthTechnology #AerialWarfare #MilitaryInnovation #FifthGenerationFighter #AirSuperiority #ModernWarfare #CuttingEdgeTech #Aviation #Defense #RadarEvasion #CombatAircraft #NextGenFighter
