Ukrainian troops shot down a Russian Su-25 combat aircraft in the Pokrovsk sector. It was paired with another similar aircraft that tried to fire at the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces units, according to the Khortytsia operational and strategic grouping of troops.

According to the report, anti-aircraft warriors from a separate mechanized brigade named after General Marko Bezruchko destroyed the second Su-25 attack aircraft this month.

“Thanks to the accuracy and professionalism of our anti-aircraft gunners, today Russian aviation has lost one more combat aircraft - a Su-25 attack aircraft. “This is the Pokrovsk Triangle for Russian aviation,” Khortytsia says.
