  1. It was priceless to RU. They have very few and cannot replace them, or the crews.

  3. I’m starting to think Ukraine has a number of F-16s already in service.

    Russian been losing a number of planes recently.

  5. Patriot range is up to 100 miles. It’s a stretch but they could do it. They’d have to move a launcher pretty close to occupied territory around mariupol though.

  7. Distance from Ukrainian controlled territory to there is about 170 km and Patriot range is 160 km how this is possible? Good job and congratulations for big drop!

  9. Who ever did this was co-op. Seriously dangerous people.

  10. Obviously didnt get the early warning on the incoming missile

  11. So is it soaked in the ocean or did it crash in the peninsula?

  13. Only two (4?) of those planes are left, with no possibility of replacement because of the sanctions and lost technology.

    Good going, Ukraine!

  15. Poked out another ruzzian eye.  Gonna be hard for them stumbling around in the dark.  🇺🇸💪🇺🇦

  18. Wow, maybe 400 kilometers from somewhat safe Ukraine ground. Just awesome!

    EDIT: 200km from the crash site to the bank of the Dnipro river, and I doubt they would put a Patriot that close. Still awesome.

  19. The 15 crew must have been shitting themselves in their last minutes, as they tracked an incoming Patriot, knowing their only defence was some crappy flairs which Patriot is designed to ignore.

  20. Or two?
    Russian regional media, here msk1 ru from Moscow, referring to93 ru from Krasnodar,
    so probably the whole Shkulev network (yes, also ngs ru fron Novosibirsk) has:

    “February 23, 21:47
    Valeria Dulskaya

    The regional operational headquarters reported that **two aircraft fell at once**.
    (Had to check the original “сразу два летательных аппарата” at once two flying apparatuses)
    Which ones exactly are unknown.
    When firefighters arrived at the scene, they found that the fallen apparatus and reeds were burning in an area of ​​about 250 square meters.”

    Okay, Russian authorities.

    BTW: Yeysk. In October 2022 a jet fighter crashed into a suddenly appearing apartment building:

    If you ask me, you better take the train, if you have to go to Yeysk.

  21. I’m confused how they could get shot down way over there lol

  22. ruzzian aircraft fucked itself (poor little bot is obviously exhausted )

  23. This brightened my day. I’m sure it did the pilots too… probably in a different highly painful way

  24. Another quality target joins the submarine fleet. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦

  26. Isn’t this the 2nd one shot down. The only one of this type of aircraft ever shot down. I love it. In the last few weeks Ukraine anti aircraft has been doing a great job. Keep it up
