The pilot of a Russian Su-25 attack aircraft was able to land after he was hit by a MANPAD missile fired from the ground by an AFU soldier.
Earlier, Kiev declared that the plane had been shot down.
The commander of the wing, said that the wingman’s plane was hit during a combat mission after attacking a target. The pilot of the damaged aircraft kept his composure and regrouped forward by command. Having detected the launch of the second missile, the squadron commander took up a position behind the damaged aircraft and then fired the infrared traps to cover his comrade-in-arms.
The damaged aircraft lost one engine. All electronics, including navigation equipment, failed. Nevertheless, the pilot was not only able to successfully land the plane, but also to clear the runway for other aircraft returning from combat missions to land.
The commander has his back or else his men would be lost, this man pants so big to afford his bigger balls
He was ready and willing to risk his life for his friend. That moment right there makes him the best
It will take a lot more than ukrop nazis with mikey mouse natostan manpads to stop an angry bear intent on cleaning the filth out of his backyard. The girly transgendermutant retards in USSA and their EuroPeon vassals are keeping their distance as the anglozios’ nazis get ground to dog dinner.
Chances are US pregnant pilots would miscarriage in the cockpit or too busy worrying about their makeup instead of rescuing their planes..
they’d be painting their toe-nails!!!
Don’t fool the people, and go to war with your pilots, pregnants or not, Uncle Shlomo.
Those women could be your end; min. 200 hours combat training per yea, Russians 60 to 90 hours.
Untill now 99 where downed by Ukraine. Why do you think there is no air covering of the troops?
u arkansas hillbillies use too much crack cocaine
Taff lil jet.
Kudos to the pilot.
Another proof that titanium armor plating its worth every ruble.
Russia may stop exporting titanium as reverse sanction on the west. A LOT of world’s titanium consumption comes from Russian mining sector exports.
What happens if Russia shuts down titanium sales to the West?
A couple of airstrikes a day keeps Azovisis away 🤗
a Triple?
Ciatrolls and ukrobots are crying and raging 🤗
Slava Rossiye 🇷🇺
Where is Zelensky, is he still time-traveling to hospitals? And where did the sailors from BirdCity go? Mass-defection to Russia perhaps? Now UK Government is telling citizens to bend over for another tooling. UK has one of THE highest population densities of any country in the world, but we are about to take thousands of Ukrainian refugees. From the West of course, where the humans live. Another shotgun-to-the-feet-of-ordinary-people UK token gesture to make glorious wealth US and NATO weapons traders. They spend tax-payers money on weapons to fuel this war and then we have to live in shoe-boxes with the survivors.
Zelensky is nowhere, he don’t exist.
Another Ghost of Jewcraine :)
Hi (Zelensky) is safe in American base in Poland
Real teamwork to cover for the second missile combined with nerves cooler than Siberia. Looks like NATO will have one less propaganda piece to celebrate their progressively darker days.
A donkey-brain Americ/nt pilot instead would have pulled on the ejection seat forgetting to open the canopy first!!!!!
Armored pilot cell does its job. That is a workhorse jet warplane.
Still, good work from the Ukrainian side. That plane will either be written off or will be in the repair factory for several months. The task of the air defense is not exclusively to shoot down the plane, but to prevent the plane from performing its tasks. Whether this plane was hit before or after the completed task depended on the commander’s assessment of where to place the air defense, but that air defense unit still did its job.
Are you aware Ukraine will lose its sovereignty within the EU ?
Russia didn’t give Ukraine its independence in 1991 to become a region of the 3rd Reich.
