In
#Bakhmach they said goodbye to pilot Andrei Antikhovich, who sent a shot down attack aircraft to enemy columns On February 26, 2022, the captain of the
#Ukrainian Armed Forces, making a combat sortie on a Su-25 aircraft in the Kherson direction, discovered enemy columns.
He fired at them, which delayed the advance of the Russians, but the enemy hit Andrei’s plane.
When the question arose about ejecting or destroying the enemy, the pilot directed the damaged attack aircraft towards the enemy column and inflicted significant losses on the invaders at the cost of his own life.
First, the Hero was buried in Antonovka,
#Kherson region, which is still under
#Russian occupation.
The pilot’s body was returned only at the end of December 2023. We are proud. Eternal glory to the Hero! Suspilne
