A multipurpose fighter was shot down in the Nikolaev region.

In the Nikolaev region, a multipurpose fighter destroyed by an anti-aircraft guided missile was discovered. Numerous damages throughout the entire fuselage of the fighter testify to the defeat of the SAM combat aircraft - traces of the penetration of striking elements, presumably the Buk anti-aircraft missile system.

On the presented video frames, you can see the wreckage of the downed combat aircraft. The latter was so seriously injured that it is not possible to accurately identify it, however, we are definitely talking about the Su fighter.

Considering that the traces of destruction by elements of an anti-aircraft guided missile are from above, experts express the opinion that the combat aircraft was destroyed using the Buk anti-aircraft missile system of an unidentified modification. Moreover, the holes from the bow of the combat aircraft are evidence that the missile hit came from above, and this is typical only for the Buk complexes, the missiles of which, before hitting air targets, make the so-called “hill”.

At the same time, experts drew attention to the position of the aircraft on the ground - apparently, the latter did not fall, as the pilot tried to land the affected aircraft on the ground. However, whether the pilot himself managed to survive is still unknown.
