Russian Su‑25 attack aircraft downed in Donetsk by Ukraine's 110th Brigade
The Ukrainian army reported on Saturday about the shooting down of a Russian Su-25 attack aircraft in Donetsk Oblast. The aircraft was downed by the air defence of the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after General Mark Bezruchko.
"An enemy Su-25 has fallen again! Now its remnants lie at one of the airports in Donetsk," – wrote the brigade on Facebook.
"Air defence soldiers of the 110th Brigade continue to impose fiery penalties on Moscow pilots for illegally crossing the border," it added.
"Our sky will become a hell for the occupation pilots. Our brigade will become their nightmare," it was emphasised in the post.
This is the fourth Russian Su-25 aircraft shot down by the fighters of this brigade in the past two weeks. The previous one fell to the ground on 13th May.
Over 800 days of war
On Saturday evening, Russians attacked with drones in the Mykolaiv, Sumy, and Kherson regions.
The Russians once again attempted to storm and capture the city of Chasiv Yar. Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the Defence Forces repelled the attack in Donetsk Oblast and destroyed over 20 enemy armoured vehicles. He emphasised that the Russians were noticeably losing infantry and equipment in the direction of Kharkiv despite hoping for a quick victory. At the same time, he said he expects Russia to launch a larger offensive in the north and east of Ukraine.
