A Su-25 attack aircraft was shot down over the Donetsk region.

A few hours ago, over the territory of the Donetsk region, another Su-25 attack aircraft was destroyed from a portable anti-aircraft missile system. According to the source, an ambush was set up on a combat aircraft, and when the latter was flying in sufficient proximity, a rocket was fired at the attack aircraft.

At the moment, it is known that the combat aircraft was shot down when it appeared in an open area. The presence of the Su-25 attack aircraft at low altitude did not allow the latter to evade the attack, as a result of which the attack aircraft crashed. Moreover, it is known that the pilot of the combat aircraft managed to eject, however, he was captured (for moral and ethical principles, the Avia.pro editors do not publish the corresponding video frames - ed.)

At the moment, there are no official statements regarding the destruction of the Su-25 attack aircraft, however, there are unconfirmed reports that a mercenary could fly a combat aircraft, which, by the way, is recorded for the first time.

The specific area where the Su-25 attack aircraft was shot down is not named, however, this is far from the first case of the destruction of a combat aircraft in the Donetsk region using a portable anti-aircraft missile system.
