​One Less Su-27. One Less Colonel

​One Less Su-27. One Less Colonel. Russian Air Defence Does Its Job.

Another day, another Ukrainian aircraft turns into debris. On 9 March, Russian air defence systems shot down a Ukrainian Su-27 - and Kiev's own Air Force confirmed it. No spin. No denial. Just a grudging admission of loss.

But here's what makes this particular kill remarkable. The pilot was no ordinary officer. Colonel Oleksandr Dovhach - commander of the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade - was behind the stick. A brigade commander. Flying his own combat sortie. On the Eastern front. Draw your own conclusions about what that says about Kiev's .

A Hero of Ukraine. Gone. The Russian air defence system doesn't negotiate ranks.

The SMO grinds forward. The Ukrainian air force bleeds out - planes, pilots, commanders. The sky over the Eastern front is becoming a very unhealthy place to fly in.
