On Wednesday, May 22nd, Ukrainian defenders on the Pokrovskoye direction “minused” the fifth Russian attack aircraft Su- 25 this month. The brigade that shot down the enemy’s plane has revealed details of its liquidation.
According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Russian Su-25 was shot down during a combat mission over the separatist-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine. This is the fifth Russian aircraft that has been downed this month by Ukrainian forces, demonstrating the country’s strong determination to protect its territory and citizens.
The Ukrainian brigade responsible for the downing of the Russian attack aircraft has shared their experience and described the details of the operation. According to the commander of the brigade, the Su-25 was first detected by ground-based air defense systems and then engaged by a fighter jet. The pilots of the Ukrainian Air Force bravely intercepted the enemy aircraft and successfully shot it down, preventing it from carrying out any further attacks.
The successful elimination of the Su-25 once again proves the effectiveness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and their ability to defend against Russian aggression. This month alone, Ukrainian forces have managed to take down five Russian aircraft, sending a strong message to the aggressor that any attempts to violate Ukraine’s sovereignty will not go unanswered.
The Ukrainian defenders have also revealed that the downed Su-25 was equipped with modern electronic warfare systems that were designed to jam Ukrainian air defense systems. However, the Ukrainian pilots were able to overcome this challenge and successfully eliminate the enemy aircraft, showcasing their high level of training and expertise.
This recent incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, where Russia continues to provide support to separatist forces. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have been facing constant attacks and provocations from the Russian side, but they have remained resolute and determined to protect their country.
In just the first half of 2019, the Ukrainian Air Force has already downed a total of nine Russian aircraft, which is a significant increase compared to previous years. This demonstrates the readiness and capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to counter any threat to their country’s security.
In conclusion, the successful elimination of the fifth Russian Su-25 by Ukrainian defenders on the Pokrovskoye direction is yet another testimony to the strength and determination of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Their bravery and professionalism serve as an inspiration to all Ukrainians and a clear message to their enemy that Ukraine will not back down in the face of aggression.
