The pilot flew the plane to the specified area and successfully made an emergency landing. “The ship’s commander was not injured. The plane has minor damage and is subject to restoration,” the ministry’s statement emphasizes.
However, the ministry notes that the information about the loss of two Su-25s is not true.
The Ministry of Defense also reported that after a forced break, the Ukrainian Armed Forces aviation resumed its combat missions in the area of the anti-terrorist operation. In particular, military transport aircraft carried out “transportation of humanitarian cargo to provide for the civilian population and personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
As Navigator reported, earlier the militia announced two shot down planes near Saur-Mogila. A video of a downed Ukrainian plane has appeared online.
