This Ukrainian fighter pilot didn’t let a bloodied face get in the way of capturing a selfie after he was ejected from his MiG-29.
Maj. Vadym Voroshylov, known by his callsign “Karaya,” captured the dramatic shot from under his parachute after he bailed out of his stricken jet over west-central Ukraine, Forbes reported.
He ejected Oct. 12 during a nighttime battle with Iranian-made suicide drones – but the video was only posted Tuesday, the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, The Aviationist reported.
For his exploits, Voroshylov received the title of Hero of Ukraine with the Order of the Golden Star from President Volodymyr Zelensky.
He was wounded when debris from one of the destroyed drones penetrated his cockpit and struck him in the cheek and neck

I didn’t see anyone taking bloody fake photos at jump school, do you have any examples?
It’s for having Doordash at their impact point after they eject.
How high up...or just how high?

Give it a rest clown, you know what I'm talking about. Do you have anything to add re: the unloaded risers?
Nope, it’s just an earned nickname.
Even that simple post got the name-calling from you.
No, I don’t know what you are talking about and I don’t see what you keep claiming to see in the photo.
You seem to be the usual nasty troll-like poster making things up and being highly defensive and lashing out.
With that simple post you started the trolling. Now I doubt seriously if you ever attended Jump School. You implied that you did. If you know anything about it at all, you can see those risers are not under load. If they were they would be stressing the harness. On the right shoulder that riser is laying right on top of the harness. The left shoulder the blasted riser is laying even lower than the right side, partially hidden by his lame ass thumbs up. I went through Jump School at Benning in August 1978. When did you go?
That’s a bloody selfie, not a gory selfie.
Yes, I’m that picky.
What does “Karaya” Mean>? Who is this guy, is he an ace? Are their any aces in the UAF? How many drones do you need to shoot down to become an ace? 10-20? A good picture—but I want to know more.
The article says it is his call sign.
Actually, I wore American and German wings, the American wings were before your time.
I missed the Carter years, but you claimed to have these bloody pictures from jump school in your yearbook, asking for examples was not trolling, but it sure unveiled your troll anger, good luck with your claims.
I claimed no such thing.
Nice try but no. That blood is smeared on. Why are there droplets unaffected by the wind? I can tell you why. This whole photo is staged. He isn't descending in a chute, he's standing there in a pose. I've got pictures in my Jump School Class Book staged exactly like that. Once again the UkeNutZ are taken in by propaganda. Once again.
Your comprehension is running out of gas.
Pretty sure that Greetings_Puny_Humans is a “Log Cabin” Republican. He is on the wrong side in most issues.
So fake.
The call sign is like Maverick in Top Gun, or Goose, or what have you—It must mean something.
Like goose or maverick, probably nothing important, google Translate has some meaningless answers.
Did you runnoft?
The seat does most of the work. Lookup K 36 ejection seat.
