not a helicopter.

Opening offensive in to Ukraine and a Ukraine MIG 29 pilot takes off to defend his turf.  By end of day he had shot down six Russian jets.  

Pretty neat if true, no reason not to believe it until disproved.

Curious about helicopter info from the front.  Anyone?

"Helicopter dog fight took out a an225 on the ground"


Not minimzing the attack- a ground attack on an AN 225 would probably involve a lot of defensive ground fire.

P.S. It was a Ukranian AN 225.

25 Russian fixed wing down and 26 helicopters. I saw a video showing two helicopters going down in flames. Another showed a damaged but mostly intac co axial helicopte in a field. Pilot captured.

Those stingers are effective!

Doubtful but I'll look in to it.  Stingers and javelins are deadly.  In my day the SA7 was nothing to discount either.

The first victim of war is the plan.  The second is the truth.  Take everything you hear as propaganda, as it will be a while before the facts come out/.

While the war in Ukraine rages on, exploits of the "Ghost of Kyiv" are becoming famous. However, the video capturing it is actually game footage.

as such because there is no way of capturing the real thing.  It is representative - that's the assumption.

BUT, you could be right that it is total fabrication.  Time will tell for sure.
