The incident happened just weeks after Kyiv took delivery of the supersonic aircraft.

    Passive voice, not to excuse Russia, but to hide the fact that Russia can take them out.

    Shit just fell out of the sky I guess

      Do we know it wasn’t a mechanical or pilot error? Ukraine literally just started using F-16s, and only had a few months to train pilots.

      Edit: It helps if you read the article.

      The cause of the crash was not a direct result of an enemy missile strike, the Ukrainian military claims.

      Lmao he drove it into the ground.

        There is a third option you forgot.

        One of Ukraine’s officials claimed that a Patriot missile took it out.

        It was lost during a Russian missile attack, even if it was shot down by Russians, it would be way too embarrassing for the US/Ukrainians/NATO to admit. They were just delivered and already lost 1. Ukraine’s Air Force Chief was fired right after this event lmao

    I find it funny that people, when Ukraine has a win, will talk about how great the Ukrainians are and how Russia sucks, but when Russia has a win there’s crickets.
