  1. One of these days I want to wake up to F16s shot down multiple Russian aircraft near the frontline. Continue the good shooting guys until this day comes Slava Ukraine!

  3. Tough times to be an SU-25 pilot. Depending on the exact losses and real numbers, Russia has to have lost 10-20% of their total SU-25s by now, and it’s likely a much lower number were in flying condition at any one point, so the loss of working airframes is an even higher percentage.
