Alleged footage of the Ukrainian MiG-29 multi-role fighter, shot down in Donetsk oblast on March 8.

Major Andriy Tkachenko flew his MiG-29 on a combat mission but was reportedly shot down by a R-37M missile from a Russian Su-35.

​​​​​​​Tkachenko death was already confirmed...

Eternal memory 🕯

Chinas contribution to the Russian war effort. If Russia wins it's to a large part because of Chinas help. Russia is not the only enemy.

Engine fire after take-off, 15 POB.

Crashed 2km from the airport, presumably trying to make an emergency landing.
