According to him, today is February 29, a date that falls once every four years, but is already a familiar day for Russians with the loss of another aircraft.

"Minus Su-34 on the Eastern direction! Thank you for your work! Victory on the ground is forged in the sky!" the general said.

The Su-34 downed by the Ukrainian military today became the eleventh aircraft lost by the occupiers since February 17. On that day, the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed three Russian aircraft - two Su-34 fighter-bombers and a Su-35 fighter jet. They were also shot down on the eastern front.

As a reminder, on February 27 and 26, it was reported that two more Su-34s were shot down. In addition, on February 23, a Russian A-50 aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov. This is the second A-50 that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have downed since the beginning of the large-scale war.
