A pensioner from Chernihiv who shot down a Russian plane with a hunting rifle was awarded the medal "for assistance in protecting the state border". Valery Fedorovich shot several times at a Su-34 fighter jet.
For dedication, the head of the state border service Sergey Deineko awarded the pensioner with an award. This was announced on August 19 by the press service of the department ( the video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cF5E9Oli4M ).
Pensioner from Chernihiv received a medal of the State Border Service
Fyodorovich left a trophy as a keepsake – a piece of the downed plane.
"On the second lap, how did (the Russian fighter. - Ed.), I'm from my own, the guys are from their own, and it wow – and fell," he recalled.

Earlier, the State Border Service said that an enemy Su-34, which was shot at by a pensioner, was shot down over Chernihiv on March 5. Valery Fedorovich fired at an enemy Su-34 with a rifle
Local residents then heard the roar of an approaching fighter jet, and several men, including Valery Fedorovich, fired at it with guns. Chernihiv resident helped the military and civilians
In addition, Chernihiv helped Ukrainian soldiers and civilians when there were battles for the city. In his basement, he sheltered his family from enemy bombing.
As reported by OBOZREVATEL, a girl from Chernihiv, who came under fire from the Russian invaders, was cured in Israel. First, she was taken to a local clinic, where she underwent her first operations. And Israeli doctors created a real miracle, putting the child on her feet.

Yep I hate the term REMF.
I don’t remember the story exactly. My grandpa was going to eat with a buddy he shared a tent with (don’t know what size, I’m guessing not a pup tent as they set up semi-permanent camps) and he forgot something and went back to the tent. A zero dropped a bomb Square on the mess hall and killed every guy sitting in it. My grandpa was like 10 minutes from death and would have if he did not forget to do something.

This is just 1. I have more but will have to look later:

What is the purpose of increasingly idiotic propaganda? Is it supposed to saturate critical thinking?

Exactly.
We are supposed to now distrust the measured analysis being done across the globe by people with experience and connections and the ability to put 2 and 2 together and reliably come up with 4.
It is also meant to provoke a positive emotional response to *defenders of the homeland from the !!INVADERS!!*
The globo media machine is in overdrive. Grampas with hunting rifles. Grannies with broomsticks.
Oh, those heroic Ukrainians! I bet they field a champion skeet team in the next Olympics.
If there _is_ a next Olympics.
...General Arnold let MacArthur know how the AEBs were being pulled off their air base constriction and repair tasked to do anything from building roads, bridges and in one case even a port docking facility!

My father was an engineer in the Pacific after a full tour in Europe (w/ zero R&R, of course).
His unit was commandeered by MacArthur and the passing Filipinos let the US soldiers know they were constructing a driveway on MacArthur’s private property. Dad spoke Spanish (altho his was Argentinian) and understood enough of the taunts to complain to his Lt. He earned time in the brig for that. Also ended up with a lifetime of jungle rot on his hands.
Here is the most complete work on the USAAF Engineers that I’ve ever found.
I have another good one but for some reason can’t locate it. Might have to go to my notes.

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
You probably need professional help if you are posting this obvious BS. I don’t care. They can kill each other. Just not with my $ and my weapon systems.
“I don’t care. They can kill each other.”
Now that statement reflects the need for professional help.
The article was interesting. You shouldn’t get your B.P. up.
Well, multiply 0.1% by the number of light arms shots taken at warplanes.
That said, in any one instance it is a lot more likely the plane suffered some sort of mechanical or electrical failure.
Why should I bite into your fallacy by trying to prove negative?
Should I also prove that the Ghost of Kiev is not a real person, or that Bucha massacre wasn’t done by the Russians, and other obvious things like that?
The Red Baron was taken down by a rifleman.
My unit has certainly received small arms damage over the years.
And the Su-34s have had to operate very low and slow due to lack of precision bombs.
So it’s possible.
But I agree, if I was to bet, the plane came down for whatever reason (e.g., mechanical failure, hit a bird, whatever) and this guy happened to be taking a pot shot at him at the same time.
As noted, the Red Baron was taken out by infantry.
The more interesting story is last week Russia shot down its own SU34M.
I’ve never seen the Su34M in person, but there are only 10 in existence. Well, 9 now. Most updated ground attack plane they have.
I suspect it got its IFF beacon jammed or a spoofed, which is VERY bad news for the Russian Air Force.
And she’s anxious to send our young people to die for Ukraine, and takes delight in war and death? I don’t care what religion she is. I have a son who was in the military for four years.
