The invaders actively use aviation to support their ground forces near Bakhmut. The warplanes of the aggressor country carry out airstrikes on this fortress city.

The fighters of the State Border Service of Ukraine reduced the air fleet of the Russian occupying forces by one combat vehicle. Within a week, this is already the second confirmed jet that destroyed the MANPADS calculation of the border unit.

It was possible to hit an aerial target, probably a Su-25 attack aircraft, from a foreign-made portable anti-aircraft missile complex. The "bird" went up in smoke after being hit by a MANPADS missile and began a sharp descent.

The plane crashed after hitting the ground - our defenders saw flames and billows of black smoke. Probably, the pilot "demilitarized" together with the attack aircraft, his ejection was not observed by the Ukrainian defenders.
