He flew a Su-25.
The death of the aviator was reported by the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade named after Lieutenant General Vasily Nikiforov, with reference to his brother, attack pilot Rostislav Lazarenko.
My heart was ripped out yesterday. On January 7, my fighting brother, a member of our fighting family, my deputy, Vladislav Rykov, died during a combat mission. He had 385 combat missions – he was the best pilot and commander I knew. “He has been covering my back since the beginning of a large-scale war, both on the ground and in the air,” Lazarenko wrote.
