In early December, a plane of Wagners PMC Su-24M was shot down in the area of Klescheevka in the Bakhmut region. The crew commander Antonov Alexander Sergeevich and the navigator Vladimir Nikolaevich Nikishin died as a result of the incident.
Wagner sources confirmed the crash of their aircraft and described the actions of the pilots.
On December 2, while the crew was performing a combat mission in the Klescheevka area, the situation on the battlefield began to change sharply. The Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted a breakthrough, which threatened Russian control of strategically important positions in the area.
Assessing the situation, the commander of one of the assault detachments of Wagner changed the course of the Su-24M to an armored column of the AFU. Russian pilots had to fly several kilometers beyond the line of combat contact. Assessing the risks, the crew decided to continue the combat flight and destroy the newly identified target.
When turning onto the firing track, an aircraft was hit with a man-portable air-defense system. Fighters on one of the observation posts of one of the Wagner assault units reported to the commander that he saw the explosion of the aircraft in the air and that it was falling into the area of the Ukrainian column.
It was heard on the air from the burning Su-24M : “Meet Daddy, bitches …” and after 5-7 seconds, the plane crashed into the column of armored vehicles of the AFU.
As a result of the heroic actions of the Russian crew, the Ukrainian military did not succeed in an armored breakthrough, the Russian advanced assault groups maintained their positions.
The heroic strike of Wagner pilots was compared to the feat of Soviet pilot Nikolai Gastello who was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. In June 1941, Nikolai Gastello directed his burning plane to an enemy mechanized column on the Molodechno-Radoshkovichi road. In early December 2022, a burning Wagner PMC plane hit the column of enemy armored vehicles near Bakhmut.
Many Wagnerites are already heroes. Much respect!
Yeah but this group has done crimes.
US and UK have been killing and genocide 6 million of innocent peoples in the Middle East that are real criminal lol.
I agree with you. Then Russia needs MANPADs and ATGM fire and forget. I hope Russian military industry is working on this issue.
I would have expected kamikaze tactics from the ukrainians who have a more radical ideology and not from russian soldiers of fortune.
Nazis dont have kamikaze tactics, they are cowards
A warrior and a hero will die for his fellow soldiers as well expect that.
Ukraine involuntarily uses kamikaze tactics when attacking across the flat steppe land.
Old news but still, “NBC reports, citing its sources, that Iranian pilots completed training courses on the Su-35S in the spring and that Iran will start receiving aircraft during 2023.”
P.S. This is mainly for those people who questioned the deal between Iran and Russia. I remember posting this news and my source was from Turkish and Iraqi news sites. Some people were questioning the training and the sell of Russian Su-35S fighter jets to Iran (and the source, rightfully) but this is NBC news (West MSM).
Iraqi sites are still more reliable than NBC…or any other US propaganda channel. Watch NBC Dateline or CBS 60 minutes if you really want to barf. By the time US media tells anyone the truth, everyone already knows. As you said, old news, but thanks for the heads-up none the less…
RIP my comment. Chill out and as I said in my comment it wasn’t for most of people here but those who questioned my source before (CLEARLY NOT YOU – I don’t understand how you didn’t understand that). Also, believe me I know how West MSM works, you don’t need to tell me about them.
Let me be ever more clear, there were 2 people who were “not trusting” the source I used before (and that is fair), they also didn’t believe it. The comment I post here was for those few people (I mentioned that in my comment I post here).
P.S. I’m not calling you out zman, I’m just letting people know what you are saying and what I was saying as my first comment went pfff. Some people here attack others as 3rd party without reading your comments, because comment like mine just go pfff from the site.
Also, SF good job after 2-3 weeks we couldn’t comment because of 2-3 kids that copy pasted shit you guys did something about it but still comments just go pfff. It is not mines only, the problem is people without clue jump on others.
E.g. here; “Iraqi sites are still more reliable than NBC…or any other US propaganda channel.” Let be fair here what would come to your mind? You don’t see what the other guy said… you would think as zman mentioned that person (me in this case) is “posting US propaganda”. Do you see the problem SF?
Was I tho? No.
@JJ345
The problem is censorship itself. Whoever censors others opinions and restricts freedom of speech is an enemy of God. A deciple of Satan and should not be trusted nor followed. It’s as simple as that. However censors, is afraid of the truth. Moreover a coward.
And if SF does this 1000 comments delete and censor marathon everyday, then everybody should realize on which side they are. Small hint: It’s not the side of God and truth, that’s for sure.Moreover these coward mods of SF, are even so coward to be afraid of open discussing the problems here with the users. This is a really embarrassing behaviour and put really bad light on Russia and their whole culture and once more proves that nothing has change and that they were and still are filthly communist jews, who just pose as russians, but in fact hate Russia, hate Germany, hate free market economy hate freedom of speech, hate none-jews, hate God and Jesus Christ.
Marx wasn’t really fond of Jews really. Socialism is ok but I am not in favour of Marxist or even worse the progressive socialism in the West. I am more of a conservative/reactionary socialist.
Brid, SF is not censoring anyone here. They are under DDoS attacks and during coverage of Ukraine war a lots of keyboard warriors and some state actors have been attacking SF. Trust me SF is a small group of people and they can’t even monitor their own comment section. This comment section that SF is using is a free version and it has a lot of problems.
SF use to have a 3rd party comment system, which was Disqus. But after Western government found out how big SF is on YT and other platforms they banned SF from all “their” social media platforms and blacklist the site.
SF team never answer why they stop using Disqus but we all can guess why. Going by history of SF they never really cared to even monitor their comment section and I don’t recall them removing or deleting comment ever. BTW Disqus give power to the owner to censor people. Even when SF had Disqus we could have said anything without any problem here, I know they aren’t censoring people.
Have you visited PressTV? The West is like fully censoring real Iranian news sites to push their fake and funded websites that claim to be Iranian news sites but based in UK, US or France and get their funding from US, UK, Israel, UAE, and even KSA. They are doing it with Russia…
TLDR, no SF is not censoring they just having problems with the comment section.
@JJ345
Do you really believe your own lies ? Haha – Quote:” SF is not censoring anyone here”.
Jesus Christ, if you indeed believe that, then you are even dumber and ya brain more useless than a rats fart. I end the discussion with you at this point, as there is no meaning in speaking to notorious liars or notorious zombies (braindead idiots).
People like JJ345 are short sighted. They support everyone who is against US no matter how bad he is. These people (like the ANTIFA and the KKK) are brainless zealots.
People like you that make shit up in their heads are good for nothing.
“They support everyone who is against US no matter how bad he is.” I’m not a English teacher but I tell you what. Read what you are saying, I’m sure it sounded better in your head but it makes no fuking sense. The fuk are you on about?
Over 95% of the USA history is wars… they are the root of the problem, I don’t care what a child like you thinks, fangirl over US war crimes all you want I don’t care clown. Your type aren’t hard to find on sites like SF, everyone knows people like you and no one really care what people like you thinks. It is your edgy side/age right now, it is cute.
“These people (like the ANTIFA and the KKK) are brainless zealots.” Oh kid act like you know shit about people here. I tell you what kiddo try to visit other sites and learn how people talk. Most of people here aren’t from NA.
But…but…but…but, that is all you say.
It makes sense. Some basement dwellers here support Assad and Taliban at the same time because they fight against US interests.
I am Greek and US never really helped us but used us.
Most people here are from North America for sure.
Clueless ass person, it is not my problem that you have to clue how a website works. We talked to SF team and they know what is wrong with it. But they don’t have the funding nor do they have people to fix it.
Go on and tell me how many stuff SF has? LMFAO.
If you copy paste or comment on different post here, your comment mostly likely would be removed by the system, as the system would think you are a bot that is spamming.
It wouldn’t matter what I say to you, you are one of those people that suck their own cuck to death, have fun and you know what… what are you doing here? If it is so bad.
If you think SF is censoring your 2 cents clown ass, you know what you could do beside bitching? Leave.
You call me a kid while your answer is childish. This is amusing.
What Iraqis do you support? The Saddamists or the Shias that hate them?
The only person I support is your mother that have to deal with you, may god help her.
So you are here to troll
The best way to stop a troll is to act like a troll.
STFU troll.
It is not about trolling but about my support for Israel, that you hate me.
Non voglio assolutamente mettere in dubbio la notizia di SOUTHFRONT, ma l’aereo nella foto non è assolutamente un SU 24. Si tratta di un MIG 29 e si nota anche la probabile eiezione del pilota. Sicuramente si tratta di foto di repertorio, pubblicate non disponendo di foto scattate al momento dell’abbattimento. Il fatto sicuramente è vero e dimostra il coraggio e lo spirito di sacrificio dei piloti russi, anche della gloriosa WAGNER. Gloria a quei piloti e gloria alla Russia. Come si dice in russo: SLAVA ROSSYA!
God bless them. Wagner heroes defending their homeland, Russia, keeping it safe from Banderite Nazis. God will receive them with open arms for there is nothing more Christian than killing Nazis.
That merits a new volley of missiles on the Natzie power-energy grid.
Very based !
Fairy tales for young children and Russians.
@cop
Exactly ! Btw. in fact most true freedom fighters we never hear of, are those men and woman in Russia, USA, Canada, UK and Germany who dare to speak out the truth about those behind all this wars, the covid-hoax, the holohoax, the 9-11 scam, the globo-homo agenda, the climate-hoax etc. etc. See for example:
https://odysee.com/@BrianRuhe:b/The-Biological-Response—Alfred-Schaefer-and-Diane-Chase—Part-1-of-2-(2):6
https://odysee.com/@BrianRuhe:b/The-Biological-Response—Alfred-Schaefer-and-Diane-Chase—Part-1-of-2-(2):6
Very interesting and we all here can learn a lot from the above discussion (titled: The Biological Response), and the truth which is pointed out in that interview.
Unlike the fairy tales of Ukretards and their Five Eyes owners, a real aircraft and pilot were the subject of this report. After that Ghost of Kiev nonsense, all Ukrotrolls should have just shot themselves.
@Clyde
‘”real aircraft”, “real pilot” my arse !!!!!!!!! Fact is: Your mother was the subject of some dirty project, that’s for sure.
“Meet, bitches, dad” they shouted!
Wagner is a criminal group composed of the worst scum that Russia uses to commit the worst crimes without having to answer directly as it is not officially part of the army. Proclaiming the deeds of a criminal group of assassins is shameful.
The US troops are even worse criminals than Wagner or the Chechen Achmat.
@Macumbahaba
Both US and Russia are controlled by the so-called “global elite” which is jewish satanic central bankers and World Jewry. So there is no: US is more evil than Russia or vice versa. It’s both controlled and directed by the same satanic hook-nosed scum from behind the scene. Whoever hasn t realized this by now has realized nothing at all.
See for example SF – and the photo they posted in this thread here. https://southfront.org/in-video-war-in-ukraine-explained-by-professor-jeffrey-d-sachs/
There you see Bush and Putin, they both have this FREEMASON Shirt on. So it is clear now for everybody to see, that Putin is part of the NWO/JWO. As freemasonary nowadays is nothing but judaism: Some call it: “Judaism for none-jews, controlled by jews”. And freemasonary is definitely jewish controlled and it is secret organisations which conspire against the free will of the people and nations on earth. So here we have it again clear to see for everybody that all these lodge-brothers are working together hand-in-hand behind the scene always. And then they play this theater to us, as if they were conflicting parties and each others enemies when in fact they are all buddies, sucking dry the peaceloving innocent mankind and different nations.
Jews and commies are the ones always banning freedom of speech, they infiltrate and infest everything, and get it into a detrimental state, they are enemies of the truth and therefore arc-enemies of God. They are entities of the antichrist and nobody should follow these evil entities. This everybody needs to understand !
Whether that’s true or not, that doesn’t change anything. Wagner are criminal mercenaries who kill for money and exalting their deeds is disgusting.
According to the mouthpiece of the pillars of the US Empire, Wagner doesn’t even exist. Who are we to doubt them? “Russia’s Wagner Group Doesn’t Actually Exist” https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/07/06/what-is-wagner-group-russia-mercenaries-military-contractor/
Wagner fight in Libya, Syria, Mali and Central African Republic so they exist.
ЧВК Вагнера является отдельным сообществом во главе чего стоит прежде всего: Честь и любовь к родине. Вагнеровцы являются патриотически настроенными людьми. Они выполняют боевые задачи и делают грязную работу, так же, как и обычные военные получают деньги. Хочется УПОМЯНУТЬ PMC”Black Water” (США) они тоже преступники? ЧВК – это обычный бизнес, частная армия, которую могут попросить другие страны для наведения порядка. Не знаю, как там в других ЧВК. Но Вагнер сотрудничает только с главами государств и на их благо работает с Siriya, Central Africa
Wagner operates assault bombers? Wou.
I seem to remember reading of another heroic Wagner pilot some months ago who was sadly shot down and killed, he was also providing much needed air support behind enemy lines to beleaguered ground troops. He was flying an older model plane that didn’t have all the upgrades of the regular Russian air force, and was in fact a retired Russian air force pilot, but apparently many of Wagner’s troops are ex Russian military, it’s more an elite force than some ragtag group of guns for hire. It’s members are sworn to secrecy, so doubtless many more of their great deeds go unremarked.
Yeh) Я из России и я подтверждаю
Honor who those deserve be honored. This action just means that Russia will end with these nazi-fascist ukranians very soon ( we all hope with this coming winter offensive).
rest in peace Hero
If true, then this is an epic tale of heroism.
Easy for the legions of armchair generals all around the world spectating from the sidelines.
Not so easy for the people doing the fighting.
Real soldiers, real hero’s! Respect.
All members of the Russian armed forces deserve our highest respect for their bravery, integrity, professionalism and committment to liberating and defending the new Russian territories from ukronazi aggression. All those who died fighting fascism in Ukraine should be forever remembered as heroes of the Russian Federation and an example to other nations. The two airmen who crashed their stricken aircaft on a ukronazi convoy were not on a kamikaze mission, they could have ejected and saved their own lives but they chose to stay on board and take out as many of the enemy as they could in order to save the lives of their comrades on the ground. They went above and beyond the call of duty and gave their lives to succeed in their mission. That’s the philosophy of the Wagner PMC and I salute them for it.
The pilot should have said” Slava Putin!
I’m not going to lie this is a Heroic Story, finally after Ten Months of War I can finally say I’m proud of the Russian Military!
