| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … as Zelensky reveals Western-supplied F-16s helped destroy Russian rockets during missile blitz This is the dramatic moment Ukrainian air forces shot down another of Putin's £15million fighter jets in the latest blow to Russia's stumbling war effort. A Sukhoi SU-25 attack aircraft is seen exploding in a fireball as it flies over Ukrainian positions around Kramatorsk, Ukrainian sources claimed. The plane was forced to release flares to distract heat-seeking missiles while flying low with another aircraft in eastern Ukraine, but was reportedly struck before plummeting to the ground. Anti-aircraft gunners of the 28th separate mechanised brigade took down the latest Su-25 scalp with a man portable air defence missile, the sources said. Russia has launched devastating attacks inside Ukraine since Kyiv's shock incursion into the Kursk region earlier this month - but damage has been limited by American-supplied F-16s now on hand to destroy foreign rockets, President Zelensky has claimed. |
