Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has summed up all the aerial targets taken down over September 23: one Su-25 fighter, one Mi-8 helicopter, one Mohajer-6 UAV and six Shahed-136 loitering munitions – however, Defense Express assumes this last figure includes the less advanced Shahed-131 version of this munition as well.
And today’s "catch" is no less impressive: as of 6 PM on September 24 four more russian attack aircraft were shot: a Su-25, two Su-30 planes and a Su-34. Ukrainian paratroopers even shared a video showing the last minutes of one of the Su-30s, see below.
