Scramble Messageboard

C-21, nr. 84-0085 inbound.

A recently brought down Ru Mi-35 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_BvKquJnjE&t=2s Interesting to note that the front of the helicopter looked to be white painted, as was the Mi-24 shot down on March 5th on the very well known video. Is there a special reason for such a camouflage ? Watching photos o...

Here is a link to an article about that Su-25 crash with a general as the pilot. Apparently, it was an already retired Major-General. In the last paragraphs it is noted that he was kicked out because he flew a Su-27 without having the type rating for it... and then crashed it. And before that, he a...

Looking at previous pictures, this Su-34 is the one mentionned as being shot down on March 5h : "A two-seat Su-34, registration number RF-81879 - Red 24, is shot down by Ukrainian forces near Chernihiv at 11:30. Both pilots ejected. Ukrainian forces captured the pilot; the co-pilot died." The pictur...

In this French TV document, North ok Kiev, the wreck of an Ukrainian downed Mig-29 (said to have been shot down around one month ago) : at about 00:00:45'' https://www.francetvinfo.fr/monde/europe/manifestations-en-ukraine/guerre-en-ukraine-apres-les-combats-des-milliers-d-engins-non-exploses-resten...

About to depart now.

Thank you for those details. It is usefull as it is somtimes hard to avoid counting twice the same shot-down machine (for examole once when it is filmed beeing shot down and a second time when photos of the wreckages appear later, without linking it to the previously reported "kill").

C-40 C, 02-0203 at Kishinev (Moldova).

And An-22 seems to be damaged but maybe not definitely lost (at 10:00).
