“It is claimed that there was no damage on the ground as a result of the crash.”
Except a pile of rusty junk that used to be a plane.
I see ruSSia’s summer offensive is in full progress. 🤣🥶
Later in the day, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the loss of the aircraft and clarified that the jet involved was a Su-34, not a Su-27UB.
Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to include that the Su-34’s navigator was killed: after ejecting, he landed poorly in a tree and died from his injuries.
