Shocking battlefield footage from today shows Ukrainians cheer and applaud as they appear to shoot down two Russian aircraft in the Chernihiv and Mykolaiv oblasts as forces were also earlier said to down a Russian helicopter near Kyiv.

Would not want to be a Russian helicopter pilot in Ukraine right now

[NorseViking]

Wait a little bit for all the stuff to make its way to Europe and the US.

[euram]

Send him some No Pest Strips to get rid of those pesky flies.

[Captain Walker]

I guess the Russians never watched, “Blackhawk Down”.

[Enterprise]

So what’s the problem here? Fly a fighter jet into Poland. Arm it. Change the markings to Ukrainian military. Fly the jet to Ukraine and ground and pound the tanks and troops. Easy peasy.

[Sertorius]

He should emphasize that the lack of a no-fly zone is costing lives of Russian pilots.

[Sacajaweau]

I’m sorry...you don’t cheer killing. That’s what the BLM does.

[The Free Engineer]

Then the Russians strike the polish airfields with missiles.
Then what?

[Moorings]

Losing his war toys is the one of the two things that gets Putin's attention. He does not care if his soldiers are dying over there. He also does not care if his people at home are starving, unless that is a direct threat to his power. His other dearest item is his personal wealth.

Ukraine captured the Fattest fighter pilot ever but his co-pilot didn’t make it

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

I personally see nothing wrong with cheering the killing of those invading your country.

[dangus]

“Warning: the following footage contains that some viewers might find upsetting” ... especially Russian presidents.

[datura]

Poland is NATO. Then the war really starts. Poland joined NATO exactly for this reason, after being overrun how many times in history?

[Enterprise]

Why would they do that? The planes are Ukrainian military when they leave Poland. And there’s no proof Poland supplied the planes or the weaponry. It’s plausible deniability.

[GonzoII]

Can anybody identify that helicopter?

[dangus]

I didn’t see people cheering a pilot failing to blow his escape hatch. I see people cheering the destruction of an airplane which had come to kill them and their loved ones.

[dangus]

Looks like future scrapnel, but I’m not sure that helps you.

[lodi90]

10 Russian aircraft have been shot down in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, 14 NATO cargo aircraft arrived in Poland yesterday alone for Ukraine. The war has moved to a new phase and lots of Russian sausage is being made.

LOL. I saw that. How did he fit into the cockpit? There is a pic of him standing next to Assad in Syria with his beer and salo belly sticking out.

[McGruff]

Poland supply weapons to Ukraine. That makes them part of the war I’d say.
