This is the dramatic moment a low-flying Vladimir Putin warplane is shot down by Ukrainian troops and explodes into a huge fireball.
The £11million Su-25 attack warplane was captured smashing into the ground near the village of Zaitsevo, close to a major battle scene in Toretsk, Donetsk region. The pilot ejected and is “alive and safe”, according to reports. The plane was hit by a shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missile, confirmed the Ukrainians. Footage apparently showed a Russian rescue helicopter plucking the Su-25 pilot to safety after he had hidden in the forest.
However, the rescue Mi-8 helicopter was attacked by Ukrainian FPV drones with aerial detonation. The Mi-8 helicopter was also hit by “radio-electronic warfare”, say reports. The Ukrainian side said: “The Mi-8 helicopter tried to evacuate the pilot, but the FPV crews did not allow him to do so. As a result, the helicopter limped back and needs repair.”
Russian source Fighterbomber Telegram channel reported: “Yes, we lost the plane. It happens. The pilot is in hospital, everything is fine.” Russia earlier said it had “liberated” bombed-out Torestsk, a claim disputed by Ukraine. It comes after eerie footage was released of Putin's "death plane" delivering 50 coffins of Russian soliders killed in the Ukraine war. The Il-76 aircraft was seen delivering the bodies to the world’s coldest city, Yakutsk, in Siberia, where they would be returned to their relatives.

I'm waiting for the headline "Ukraine Wipes Russia from Face of Earth. Sets sights on China."
The pilot is fine? I’d don’t think so. He in the hospital.
You’re a creep, bert.
And you probably get paid by USAID to call your fellow freepers “terrorists”.
And you’ve been spanked by the moderators for this sort of behavior before.
So STFU, creep.
😂👍🇺🇸
Sorry honey......... You are the anti Ukraine pro Russia pro Iran prothema’s pro Hezbollah pro Houthi supporter.
It doesn’t matter now really though because the coalition of losers is literally falling apart economically, politically and even militarily
The Freepers in question are just ignorant, plain dumb. They are so isolated from reality that they don’t know that by supporting they are supporting the terror state of Iran and all the terrorist Iranian surrogates.
Both Russia and Iran are losers and to survive hoped that a coalition would allow both to survive. Freepers unknowingly bought into the illusion
Don’t call me “honey,” you gross, disease-ridden gay boy. That’s a term you lil’ homos like to use. Leave me out of your depravity, please.
And we all know you support Hamas, Isis, al Qaeda, Hezbollah and all of the other evil you democrats love. You even lick the boots of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. What a sicko.
You’re just projecting like all of you scared Democrats are doing. Sucks to have your USAID funding yanked, doesn’t it?
I, on the other hand, support true American values which do not include the things you love like Russia, Ukraine, your buddies Biden and Obama and Antifa.
Take your queer doctrine elsewhere, Lance. I’m not interested.
