At the current rate of advancement 127 years until Russia conquers Ukraine. At the current rate of fighter/bomber lose this year..... Russia will be out of fighters/bombers by next year. For those wondering they produce three a year and lost like 24 in the last 4 months.

Poor chap, imagine training your whole life just to be shot down by a friendly.

Nice shot though.

According to David Axe ar Forbes, the 38th Regiment’s only known air-to-air kill was a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone pictured below on March 14, 2023.

Great work, chaps!

Wound up inverted in a flat spin. No way out of that one.

I saw a pic of a chute right before the video starts. No idea if it's true.

There are things to try for a flat spin but not for the fully engulfed in flames part

I didn't know the Ukrainians had Flankers. I thought the MiG 29 was their most advanced jet.

They've got more Fulcrums, but iirc they have like 20-30 flankers
