The Ukrainian Air Force showed how a MiG-29 fighter pilot destroys a "shaheed".
The video was published on the page of the Air Command "West".
A pilot from the Denfix tactical aviation brigade said that the Russians struck early in the morning.
"It's easier to detect and destroy drones in daylight. So, unlike night combat work, I could see the target clearly in the sights. After the explosion, I was happy that I was doing a good deed and that I managed to see with my own eyes a destroyed enemy drone that did not reach the target and did not destroy anything on our native land," the pilot said.
The Air Force noted that the pilot's combat record includes more than two dozen destroyed cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
As Apostrophe reported, to repel a massive Russian combined air attack on Kyiv on the night of April 24, 2025, Ukrainian air defense forces used, among other things, helicopters.
