According to the statement of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade, its soldiers destroyed a Russian Su-25 aircraft. At the same time, the Russian helicopter was probably damaged.
According to the military, on the outskirts of Toretsk, a combined anti-aircraft missile unit of the 28th Brigade and the 57th Separate Tank Division sent a Russian Su-25 "to permanent parking" with the Igla missile system.
"The Mi-8 helicopter tried to evacuate the pilot, but failed as well - our FPV calculations of R.V. operators and the unmanned systems battalion did not allow it to do so. As a result, the helicopter limped back and needs a lot of repairs," the brigade explained.
According to the military, the pilot of the enemy Su-25 remained abandoned.
"Probably not Russian, because as you know: "Russians do not abandon their own." Those who have been abandoned are not their own," the brigade noted.
Fake about the capture of Toretsk
Yesterday afternoon, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the capture of Toretsk. However, by the evening, the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the Russian fake about the capture of Toretsk.
In a commentary to RBC-Ukraine, Ivan Tymochko, head of the Land Forces Reservists Council, explained why he believes that the Russians spread the fake about the capture of Toretsk.
