Russia's military has lost 321 aircraft in the 20 months of all-out war, Ukraine said on Monday.
Ukrainian forces have shot down a Russian Su-25 fighter jet with a shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missile close to the fiercely contested Donetsk town of Avdiivka, a Ukrainian official has said.The MANPADS, or man-portable air defense system, 'hit an aerial target' before the aircraft started to smoke, lose height and then disappear from view, Andriy Demchenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine's state border guard, told Ukrainian outlet RBC on Sunday.
Ukraine has previously said that its forces around the Avdiivka front line have shot down several Russian Su-25 jets within days of one another. The Su-25 close support aircraft are also known by their NATO reporting name, Frogfoot.The Donetsk town of Avdiivka became an epicenter of fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine earlier this month, after Moscow launched its first major effort since Kyiv began its summer counteroffensive in early June.
