"Eternal flight", as some hostile bloggers say.

Soldiers of the air defense unit of the 28th OMBr hit a Russian attack aircraft SU-25!

The fate of the crew is still unknown, but we know for sure that one less problem for our infantry.

We are working!

✝ 28 OMBr named after Knights of the Winter Campaign

The puff of smoke after the chaff is dropped is likely anti-aircraft gungire scoring a hit. It looks like a flameout, meaning the fire in the turbojet's combustion chamber was extinguished. There's likely not enough energy (speed + altitude) for recovery.
