The Ukrainian military performed a brilliant operation, knocking down three Russian fighter jets of Su-34 bombers. The pilots of Russian aircraft, trying to strike the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, were lit and destroyed.
The Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignatus shared the details of this successful operation on the air "Army TV" and "Ukrainian Radio". He noted that the pilots of the Russian SU-34 tried to get closer to strike, but the Ukrainian military acted gracefully and effectively.
"The Russians were smiling, flew closer, tried to hit the managed aircraft at a greater depth of our defensive positions," Ignat said.
As for the risks that led to this confusion, Ignati noted that Russian pilots risked to fly closer, which was unsuccessful for them. He also expressed the hope that such risks from the invaders would be less.
Earlier, such crashes of Russian aircraft occurred near the island of Snake and above the Russian Bryansk region. Ignatus stressed that this is not the first such a successful act in the Ukrainian troops.
The speaker also noted that the killing of three Russian SU-34 is defined as "top event", and this will be a reminder to Russian pilots that Ukraine is ready to respond to any aggression.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy considers this beating an important event and reminded that every act of aggression will have a response. In this situation, the Ukrainian military demonstrated their readiness and high level of efficiency in conducting air operations.
