THIS IS the moment Ukrainian soldiers shot down a Russian Su-25 attack jet.

The incident occurred near Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast, the Khortytsia group of forces said on July 23.

Anti-air units shot the plane down as it was attempting to fire on Ukrainian positions, the statement by the group forces said.

The Khortytsia group of forces also shared a video that showed an anti-aircraft missile being launched and striking a plane in the distance.

The Soviet-designed Su-25, nicknamed "Frogfoot" by NATO, is a heavily armored ground-attack aircraft.

Poor MarciMaxipad’s hero Biden has been humbled. What about your other hero? What do you think Zelensky’s shelf life be after the war ends? He will either flee the Ukraine or be torn apart by the Ukrainians.

Feel good news for the war cheerleaders. Fact is it was a US or EU AA missile that took the Russian aircraft down. Possibly manned by a western crew.

The Ukie’s Air Force” ( and” Navy”) has been destroyed long ago, their ground forces are getting chewed up piece by piece and the last of their defense line built in 2014 is crumbling.

I do give the Ukies some credit for lasting so long, the price? Decimating their entire male population for decades, losing their ethnic Russian provinces and leaving Ukraine in ruins with little chance of rebuilding.

The last Ukrainian will most certainly say it was not worth it all.

We can still make good use of the A-10 when we finally decide to deal with the Mexican cartels.


Only after AC-130Js soften them up. All night long, all night long, on the highway to hell.

He is an illegitimate leader, his term expired in May. Everyone knows this, including his nation and members of their Congress ( Rada).

St Z’s recent calls for negotiations will not happen as Vlad can not legally sign agreements with an illegitimate leader. He will most likely be deposed by their Rada ( Congress), and a provisional President elected by the Rada. Until then, the Russian PAC Man will continue to gobble up Ukraine piece by piece.

Ukraine and St Z are going the way of their war promoter Biden, barely hanging on for two years, then sudden collapse.

My personal experience witnessing our Spectre Gunships in action, totally worthless unless they are given total air superiority. Sitting ducks otherwise.

That said, have you ever seen the number of Gunship support personnel needed? And the amount of logistical support needed? I can personally recall one we relied on sat on the ground for a week awaiting certain avionics parts to be procured and shipped…..and another grounded awaiting a not so common MS 2000 series bolt….lack of one bolt ceased all operations.

Your Biden gave your Putin the green light to invade Ukraine in a “minor incursion” and your crappy Russian army botched the whole deal.

Tell your beloved Biden to tell your Elensky to withdraw what's left of the Ucrazian army from the future Russian Federation oblasts of Kharkov, Nikolaev and Odessa.

Shooting Ruzzian planes down is good PR for YouCraynee.
But what territory is YouCraynee taking back from Ruzzia.
When is next YouCraynee Offensive going to start?
