Aircraft tend to crash after they get blasted!
Good shooting Ukraine!
Story I heard was the Russian aircraft were returning from a mission and inadvertently strayed too close to a UKR NASAMS installation.
AAMRAMs are pretty lethal.
Mistaken ID by a Russian air defense system.
This is a days old story.

If even true.
Russian Kinzhal Missile Strikes US Patriot System in Kiev + the Fundamental Disadvantage West Faces
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for May 17, 2023:
- Russia’s Ministry of Defense and US officials confirm Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles successfully targeted US-made Patriot air defense systems;
- Patriot systems launched approximately 30 missiles over 2 minutes, representing tens of millions of dollars of missiles that were already in short supply;
- Despite this, the Western media continues repeating obvious fabrications about Ukraine intercepting “all” incoming missiles and drones. The Patriot system falling victim to a Kinzhal missile despite firing upward to 30 missiles calls into question Ukraine’s previous claims of intercepting a Kinzhal days earlier;
- As Ukraine burns through Western weapons and ammunition, the West continues preparing to transfer other weapon systems including warplanes;
- European nations are preparing a “coalition” to purchase and provide F-16 fighters to Ukraine;
- F-16 warplanes have no specific capability beyond the aircraft that made up Ukraine’s original air force which is now mostly destroyed;
You are going to use that language with our female freepers?
Only with the globalist ones backing the Biden regime, Soros and WEF bastards.
You are the lowest of the low, a true spamming troll, and now you attack the females here like that.
Massive Russian Attack To Push Ukranian Forces Out Of Remaining 1 Percent Of Bakhmut
Let’s hold on the cheering.
It may have been Russian anti aircraft fire that brought down their own aircraft
IMHO the Russians shooting down their own aircraft is worth cheering! It’s right neighborly of them!
