The commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Nikolai Oleshchuk, said that it was not the Ukrainian air defense that shot down the Russian plane – the Russians “tried” themselves.
Social networks spread information that the Russians shot down their Su-25 aircraft. The Commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Nikolai Oleshchuk, confirmed the information, noting the non-involvement of the Ukrainian air defense in the destruction of the Russian attack aircraft.
“Eternal flight, brother” – that’s what they wrote on the public pages of Russia! I’m in! I can confidently say that it was not Ukrainian air defense that shot down the Russian Su-25 attack aircraft! These are clear and coordinated actions of the Russian anti-aircraft gunners, for which many thanks to them from the entire Ukrainian people! Keep it up! One less invader, and one step closer to our victory! Minus one Su-25 invaders. To be continued…” Oleschuk wrote on his TG channel.
It was previously reported that in early October the Russians shot down their plane near Mariupol.
And in September, Russian air defense “successfully” worked in the area of temporarily occupied Tokmak in Zaporozhye: the invaders shot down their own Su-35.
It was also reported that Russian air defense shot down its fighter over Crimea.
