Ukrainian Armed Forces are publishing a video of today’s downing of a Russian Su-25 in the Pokrovsk direction.
Judging by the footage, it flew very close to Ukrainian positions and was shot down by a MANPADS.
Russian planes rarely practice such close approaches. Most often, they drop CABs from a distance of tens of kilometers from the front line.
Russian military publics confirm the downing of the plane. They write that the pilot managed to eject and was evacuated.
