On October 13, the wreckage of a Ukrainian MiG-29 was found near Vinnitsa, which was destroyed with the help of a UAV “Geran-2”. This is the first fighter in history destroyed by a kamikaze UAV during an air battle.
Moreover, judging by the footage, the downed fighter belonged to the aerobatic group “Ukrainian Falcons”.
According to the official information of the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine, the plane crashed due to fragments of a downed Russian kamikaze drone “Geranium-2”, which he was chasing.
According to military expert Boris Rozhin, the victory of “Geranium” is largely accidental – the Ukrainian pilot, attacking a kamikaze drone, came too close to it, and after the explosion of “Geranium”, the wreckage of the drone caused irreparable damage to the fighter.
“Nevertheless, even the random nature of such a victory does not negate the uniqueness of this event. It must be admitted that the destruction of Ukrainian fighters in air battles is not included in the main profile of the work of Iranian “infernal mopeds”. And yet, even here they were able to surprise,” the expert noted.
