The Russian Armed Forces shot down a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet from the "Ghost of Kyiv" brigade.

Kyiv lost another MiG-29 fighter jet, along with its pilot, while attempting to attack Russian positions. The Ukrainian Air Force reported this in a separate statement.

According to the statement, the MiG-29 fighter from the 40th tactical brigade aviation The "Ghost of Kyiv," commanded by flight commander Captain Marat Mambetov, attempted to launch missile and bomb strikes on Russian troop positions in one of the front lines.



It is claimed that during its next approach, the Ukrainian fighter was shot down by a Russian rocketThe pilot attempted to eject but did not survive, according to a statement:

While on a combat mission, the plane was hit by an enemy missile. The pilot ejected, but unfortunately did not survive.

There are no details yet about the specific missile that struck the fighter jet: whether it was an air-to-air missile launched by a Russian aircraft or an anti-aircraft missile. Russian resources are not providing this information.

It's worth noting that, thanks to the efforts of Russian fighters, Ukraine's aircraft fleet has been reduced by another unit. And, most importantly, by one trained pilot.

Take Ukraine, for example – now country 404, occupied by Ukrobanderlogs, who were unpopular during the Soviet era and whom Khrushchev rehabilitated, or the fascists from the Baltic nations, who were also unpopular...

This is a path to understanding what can happen when the truth is distorted and never casts a shadow on national heroes from ethnic minorities.

      • In Kazakhstan, Central Asian countries and some regions, the word “mambet” is used as a slang or derogatory nickname.
      • Denotes a rude, ill-mannered or poorly educated person from a rural area (aul), similar to the Russian word “bydlo”.

        Mambet is a common, distorted, Turkic name—and Kazakhs and Crimean Tatars are Turks—of Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah (Muhammad > Makhambet > Mambet). There are other surnames with this word, for example, BekMambetov, etc. Accordingly, this distorted version of the prophet's name was common among the less educated classes. That's where the nickname originated. But it's mostly used by Kazakhs, and perhaps Kyrgyz. In Uzbekistan, uneducated residents of the village (kishlak means village, a rural area in Farsi) are called the derogatory "kharyp."

Well, that was a great deception; in reality, almost nothing was lost, only Truman's agreement to these same Nazis joining forces with British troops and again attacking the exhausted and destroyed Soviet Union in July 1945.

    As far as I understand, there's no need to worry about the Ukrainian Armed Forces' planes; they'll get some. But the pilots could really run out.

    Why aren't our Su-57s hunting enemy aircraft? Does the lack of A-50s in sufficient numbers prevent this?

    Reason for what?
    Let's be humanists. Let's strip them all of their Russian citizenship and deport them from Crimea to some fucking place called Kolyma. What a shady, unreliable bunch, and for some reason, Tatars born in Ukraine are fighting against us again... What do they see in us? request
    They're even more of a non-brother than the Ukrainians. This is the second time in 100 years they've played against us...

    They were evicted once and returned, which means the measure is not so effective.
    It is possible that they have this at the genetic level since the time of the various Giray khans.
    It is better to leave everything as is, and send those guilty of breaking the law to re-education in labor camps in more northern latitudes.
