Ukraine's armed forces have shot down six Russian fighter jets in just three days, according to the country's Ministry of Defense.
The ministry said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, that Ukraine on Monday destroyed two Russian jets—an Su-34 fighter-bomber and an Su-35S fighter jet.
"Russian planes continue to fall! This morning, defenders of the sky shot down two russian planes in the eastern direction—a Su-34 fighter-bomber and a Su-35 fighter," it said. "In 3 days, Ukraine destroyed 6 russian jets."
The news comes after the Commander of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, said Ukraine destroyed four Russian military aircraft over the weekend.

Ukraine is getting is ass handed to it on the actual battlefield. The Ukrainians have ZERO chance gaining back any lost territory. Continuing this war will only result in more dead Ukrainians, more lost territory and, quite possibly, the end of Ukraine's existence as a nation.
routed.
If accurate, how do you think they were brought down? Do we have state of the art MANPADS in Uke hands over there, plentifully? Is there a modern form of the old Stinger missile system that bedevilled the Soviets in Afghanistan, that the Ukes could put to good use? I would think Russian tactics would be to avoid vulnerable situations as much as possible.
In the meantime, thousands of more foreign invaders from Red China strolled across the Mexican border into America. Ole’! It would make more sense if America’s Official Pedophile was paying the Ukraine to kick China’s ass.
Putin will not give up the fight to keep NATO out of Ukraine.
The west has said for 40 years, “we won’t go east” to keep the peace. Keep Uke as a buffer.
It’s just a big Grift, now, with thousand and thousands young men being slaughtered. And lots of Pretty Young Russian speaking gals, the toys of grey old men, have been seen buying palaces in warmer climes with bags of US Dollars.
When 45 to 47 is sworn in, our PDJT, The GOAT, will fix the mess that the D-RATS have caused, again.
Thank you, TASS.
You’re a great American.
Patriot battery? F16s? I’m wondering too.
Maybe rooted too.
Violence and death excites headbanging zeepers.
I seem to remember reading about a possible terrorist threat that could involved autonomous Manpads hidden near airports. The sound of a jet taking off was supposed to trigger it. I wonder if they exist and were left around Andrivka .
Continuing this war will only result in Ukraine still being Ukraine. At least in the areas not yet genocidally erased by invading Russian Nazis.
Sure they were ! Photos please.
Baghdad Bob, is that you?
Completely wrong. Putin and Russian chauvinists of his ilk think Ukraine is part of Russia and Ukrainians are just “bad” Russians. He was quite clear about that, again, in Tucker’s interview. This latest Kremlin war of choice has exactly nothing to do with anything but Putin’s delusions and to suggest otherwise is simply ignorant of the facts at hand.
Yeah, it must be untrue
Russia should continue to send planes deep into Ukraine ...
It’s easy to tell who has never been in combat. More bloodthirsty. Easy to be so, thousands of miles away in the rear echelon
