The pilot is lucky to have survived. I understand ejecting out of a jet at probably a low altitude isn’t the safest thing there is.

If it could be proven that guys like this one dropped bombs on buildings full of women and kids INTENTIONALLY (following orders is no excuse) he should be hung to the nearest light post.

Ukes at it again with POW humiliation photos like Iranians, ISIS, the North Vietnamese, Saddam and other messed up places do.

Hard to tell from that remains whether its a SU-35S or a SU-27M.

The SU-35S has some impressive updates and getting shot down would seem unlikely. However, Russian doctrine seems to be to use the VKF as a sort of glorified artillery, forcing it to go low and slow, vulnerable to manpads.

Of course, once again the “good guy” Ukraine is showing pictures of captured POWs. Maybe no one ever translated the Geneva Conventions into Ukrainian?

That’s the pilot? The Russian pilots wear camo fatigues instead of flight suits? What the hell was he flying, a Spad?

Just 11 more of these and it’ll be the cost of Supreme Leader’s super yacht or a Russian Never Land.

Ukraine had lost 590 aircraft by that moment for reference. You shouldn’t expect DM mentioning it though.

Seems odd none of the surrounding dirt was disturbed.

That’s a pilot flight suit? Or did he carry a change of clothes with him?

Model airplane. Notice that there are no skid marks on the soft ground, and the fires where there is no fuel.

"It is understood the plane was shot down by the anti-aircraft missile troops of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who shared footage of the incident online.

The Su-35, a hi-tech fighter jet worth an estimated £30million, was reduced to rubble. "


This probably won't be good for Russian arms sales.
