The Ukrainian military has shot down another Russian Su-34 aircraft. The plane was destroyed on Monday, February 26, according to Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk.
"Minus one more Su-34 in the eastbound direction! Yesterday, Russian pilots managed to evade our missiles, but it will not always be like that!" he writes.
Oleshchuk advises the Russian occupiers to see their families before each flight, just in case.
"Because who knows whether they will be lucky or not this time," he adds.
