THIS is the shocking moment Vladimir Putin lost another of his Su-25 planes as it was shot down over Ukraine in the latest humiliating blunder to Russia.
The attack aircraft was downed as it was striking Ukrainian positions around Kramatorsk, defenders claimed.
Anti-aircraft gunners of the 28th separate mechanised brigade took down the latest Su-25 scalp with a man portable air defence missile, they said.
The plane - estimated in £8million by Ukrainian outlet Babel - was low flying and operating with another similar aircraft.

Not sure it’s “humiliating”. The most common jet shot down on both sides is the su-25. It’s a subsonic, very tough, ground attack jet, extremely similar (and some say superior to) the USA A-10 warthog.. (Reasonable minds differ in this regard; they both have advantages and disadvantages.)
Regardless, the jets, as cool as they are, are outmatched and just a flying target when confronting a sophisticated enemy with quality MANPADs and other air defenses. Still useful for killing Mohammedan savages, though.
I bet this just sends shivers down your spine!
a man portable air defence missile
Seems to be confirmation Russia has smashed and obliterated all the Patriots and various NATO supplied air defense systems....
Seems to be confirmation that EVERYTHING confirms the masturbatory fantasies of Putin Fanbois.
That’s still some good shooting from a bloke on the ground. 4 more of these kills and he earns a Ground Ace medal? That would be something akin to a national hero I imagine. Has one person ever recorded 5 aircraft kills in this way?
how much did THIS cost US? :)
what’s our debt?
how much have we given?
how much more will we give?
what would we do if China or Russia formed an alliance with Mexico...a military one, that allowed them to put all kinds of weapons there?
just curious
cuban missile crisis comes to mind.
putin’s not a good guy...just saying...some questions need answers as to why we are getting neck deep in this war.
You are a delusion dick
Have a nice day

“masturbatory fantasies “
Liberals always think in terms of their genitals. Primal savages tend to do that.
Only Joe Biden, when he was fighting in Anzio.
No, the Russians (and Ukrainians) are not stupid.
Both sides know the vulnerability of this slow jet.
They both operate it low, and far from any real air defense systems, as it would be immediately shot down (as tons were in both sides). The su-25 really is littler more than a flying coffin, these days.
Don’t know. I wouldn’t think either side would be dumb enough to be flying them.
The Russians made a ton of them back in the 1970s and 1980s and both Russia and Ukraine have used them.
It's not the least bit shocking that 1970s vintage attack plane is getting shot down by a Stinger missile.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))

Another stupid comment by a Russia troll.
Putin supporters: "This is not a naval war!"
Ukraine shoots down multiple Russian war planes.
Putin supporters: "This is not an air war!"
Ukraine launches incursions in Kursk Oblast, Belgorod Oblast.
Putin supporters: "This is not a land war!"

Thank you! I love the memes too!
