He notes that russian pilots are constantly trying to change routes, but Ukrainian soldiers have learned to predict them.
“They constantly change routes. Before the aircraft comes in, they start firing the area with machine guns to kill our guys. They throw mines. They are already angry with us, this is the fifth aircraft. They are trying to kill us," the brigade representative said.
The representative did not disclose how exactly and with what weapon the aircraft was shot down.
“Regarding how it was shot down, we cannot disclose that. We don’t tell, and that’s how they get shot down. I know how it’s done, but the guys keep it secret so that no one knows. I won’t say, so that those bastards don’t find out,” the representative said.
