The incident became known on Tuesday, July 23. Our plane was hit by fire from the ground. The shelling was carried out from a portable anti-aircraft complex by soldiers of the 110th separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is now trying to restrain our advance in Lozovatskoye, Progress and Novoselovka First.

The pilot managed to eject. “The pilot acted quickly and competently, which saved his life. The Su-25 is a strong machine; when a missile hits, only the plane suffers,” noted military blogger Kirill Fedorov in his channel.

But on the ground, a new danger awaited the pilot — he could be captured by the enemy. It is known how the Ukrainian Armed Forces treat our pilots. The situation was aggravated by the fact that the helicopters of the search and rescue squad could not fly up to the landing site of our pilot, since at that time there was heavy shelling from the ground.

According to Fedorov, “the pilot, being brave and decisive, reached our infantry.» “The infantry took him by car to the rear. “Everything is fine with the pilot, he will heal and go into battle,” he concluded.

The rescue of the attack pilot was confirmed in his own manner by the host of the popular Fighterbomber channel: “The pilot was taken away. All is good. New York must be destroyed!”

Experts do not rule out that the plane could have been fired at by a sabotage and reconnaissance group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from an ambush.
