Six Russian Fighter Jets Shot Down in Just Three Days
Newsweek ^ | 19 February 2024 | Isabel van Brugen

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.

It sure didn’t happen in the Avdiivka area as the Russians had uncontested control of the skies. This, and no counter battery artillery led to the collapse and rout of the Uke defense. Of course, the Ukes wouldn’t place air defenses capable of shooting down six Ruskies to help avert the Avdiika catastrophe. FRiend, I believe you have a big ole shovel full of disinfo there.

Three more Russian war weapons converted in law darts today.

Thanks for the propaganda update. Russia is getting routed in the Western media, Ukraine is getting routed on the actual battlefield.

Who said anyone died, Bambi? Let’s hope those brave Russian pilots who were indiscriminately dropping bombs on Ukrainians’ homes ejected safely and came down to earth as gently as the down of a thistle... 😂

Who said it was anywhere near Avdiivka? Why is that central to your counterargument? Unless you just want an excuse to bring it up, which is pretty sad. The video attached to the article shows an orc helicopter fishing one of the pilots out of the Black Sea (he does not appear to be swimming…)

Just because you don’t like the news doesn’t automatically mean it’s disinformation. May I suggest you put your own shovel down for a while?

“The west has said for 40 years, “we won’t go east” to keep the peace. Keep Uke as a buffer.”

It kinda ceases to be a “buffer” if you invade it.

“...according to the (Ukraine’s) Ministry of Defense.”

Thanks for DISCREDITING this story in the first sentence.

Ukraine wanted to join NATO, which would no longer be a buffer for Russia with its common border many hundreds of mile long.

If no one did die, piggy, I’m sure you and your zeeper pals would be extremely disappointed.

It's a FACT that Ukrainian military retreated from Avdeyevka.

Even the Ukraine cheerleaders at the New York Times and Washington Post reported that story.

Continuing this war will only result in Ukraine still being Ukraine

The Russians are very pleased you and our deluded political class feel that way. It gives them the green light to take, at a minimum, everything east of the Dnieper river and Odessa.

You're a fool if you think anything can prevent that. Ukraine doesn't have the troops to stop the Russian military.

In the meantime, thousands of more foreign invaders from Red China strolled across the Mexican border into America. Ole’!
= = =

Trying to make a positive out of this, if we send all our weapons to Ukraine, those invaders won’t have any of ours to use on us, maybe??????

LOL. As if Russian Nazis need any inspiration to once again genocidally mass murder their neighbors. Did I also give Putin the “green light” to murder Prigozhin and Navalny? How about Nemtsov and Litvinenko? My fault there too? The banality and ignorance of your comments never fails to amuse here.
