On May 27, Russian air defense shot down a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter in the area of Volchansk, one of the main battlefields of the Russian offensive of Volchansk.
According to the reports from the frontlines, a MiG-29 fighter of the Ukrainian Air Force was caught when trying to attack Russian military positions in the city. According to the Russian military sources, the aircraft was destroyed by Russian S-400 anti-aircraft system deployed in the Russian border Belgorod region. Russian air defense forces reportedly fired three missiles at once. Ukrainian aircraft fell south of the city and burned down. According to preliminary reports, the pilots could not survive the attack. No parachutes were spotted in the sky after the strikes.
In total, the attack on the Russian military positions was launched by two Ukrainian fighters that took off in the Poltava region. The crew of the second aircraft rushed to escape from the area after the MiG-29 of their comrades was destroyed.
It is possible that the downed MiG-29 belonged to the Slovak Air Force and was supplied to the Kiev regime. The day before, a former Slovak Mig-29AS with GBU-39B SDB bombs was spotted in the same area. Last year Slovakia transferred 13 MiG-29AS fighters to Ukraine. Ukraine received these aircraft in the spring of 2023. Four of them flew to Ukraine with Ukrainian pilots, the others were transferred by land.

On the night of May 26, the Russian military launched another wave of precision strikes that mainly targeted Ukrainian military airfields throughout the country. In particular, a military airfield in Starokonstantinov, Khmelnitsky region, came under another massive attack. Su-24M bombers that are carriers of the Storm Shadow and SCALP EG cruise missiles are deployed there. Earlier, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were preparing the Strokonstantinov airfield for the deployment of F-16 fighters from NATO; but they never arrived.
Footage also confirmed damage to the airfield in Zaporozhie which was used by the Ukrainian military. Russian strikes were also reported in the Poltava region, where the Mirgorod airfield is located. Despite the constant Russian strikes on the airfield, it is still used by the Ukrainian Air Force for some operations.
get them out of the sky, these sparrows
lame ducks to be more precise.
more needs to be done….
send freeland into the cockpit.
air defenses have to be improved, because one kamikaze got away and they want to fall for their leader. how do they say “banzai” in kiev? and everything has to be working 100% for the f16s!
i’m sure ukraine will retaliate by having their nato instructors send missiles onto another old storage site of retired russian mig-29’s
ukrainian warplanes are only good for bombing civilians like inna kukuruza in lugansk in 2014.
by the time russian forces have finished with ukrainian airfields, the kiev junta will have to drag these f-16 over the polish border. where they will stay, because they won’t be able to take off again. the kiev junta may as well strip them all down and sell them for parts before they get destroyed, along with their reputation.
ukraine is never giving up its independence…it will destroy as many orcs as is necessary…
heheheh
who’re you kidding? you’re american slaves now. pretty soon, we’ll hire the british to ship you off to our cotton fields, like in the old days.
the slovaks!!! those who owed the existence of their country to the soviet union sent fighters to thank the russians for the creation of their country. great for a” friendly ” slavic people!
they’re still better than the two-faced czechs, who let slovakia go without a fight but deny the donbass the very same right.
the western great powers and the soviets helped annex the northern part of hungary to the slovaks at the end of world war i-ii! the russians acquired a new unfriendly slavic relative.
russia took kiev after 3 days blitzkrieg😂
how many years does it take rooskies to crawl from from donbas to kiev?
