Ukraine Pilot Killed, F-16 Fighter Jet Lost In Overnight Russian Strikes by God1000(op): 12:28pm On Jun 29, 2025

A Ukrainian pilot has been killed and his F-16 fighter jet lost as Ukraine's military forces worked to repel a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack.

Ukraine's military confirmed the loss on Sunday morning.

This is the third such loss of an F-16 fighter jet since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the military said.

"The pilot used all of his onboard weapons and shot down seven air targets. While shooting down the last one, his aircraft was damaged and began to lose altitude," Ukraine's air force said on the Telegram messaging app.

The pilot flew the jet away from civilian settlements and did not have time to eject to save himself, the message read.

Russia launched 537 drones and missiles into Ukraine overnight into Sunday morning, according to Ukraine's air force, with a Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet and its pilot also reported lost during efforts to repel the attack.

Ukraine Loses Pilot And F-16 Fighter Jet In Overnight Russian Strikes

It seems Russia is having upper hand this time, Ukraine is all alone fighting Goliath since Donald trump withdrew US support, he even redeployed the missile defense systems from Ukraine to the middle east to protect Israel

537 drones and missiles will surely overwhelm any air defense system.

Iran was very careful to have fired only 550 missiles and some drones in their 12 days war with Israel, imagine sending between 100 - 200 ballistic missiles, drones and cruise missiles at the same time like Russia always does, the destruction and casualties in Israel will be much higher

This Russia-Ukraine war is getting stale.

People have moved on honestly and no longer give a hoot.

Putin and Zelensky should settle. They are brothers na.. Haba cry

They've fought too long they probably don't even know why they are fighting any longer

These are their old toys. They are probably using them to test future redesigning. Hence, they are actively being used.

Ukraine is bleeding to death but deflated ego is even their biggest foe as they are delusional not to accept the fact that they are no match to Russia in this lop-sided war in favor of great mother Russia.

The US is now fighting so many proxy wars at the same time. They're using Ukraine to fight Russia, fighting Iran through Israel, trying to topple African governments through their proxies in Europe. And they're going to lose all along with millions of dollars eventually.

He did his best for his country.. he shot down 8ballistiv missiles heading for the cities.. but failed to realized his capacity to fire is exhausted.. so either the missiles or defense missiles went for him..

And without a counter missile up high there, he is a goner

Keep consoling yourself with illusion. Iran sents more than a thousand missiles into Israel of which 97℅ were intercepted

Ukraine should plead for ceasefire now. The much touted F16 has become a flying coffin for Ukrainian pilots

All thanks to the Orange man in White House.

It's Russia that started the aggression. Trump came and withdrew support.

Silly man

Just as Israeli airforce had all the opportunities to wipe out half the Iranian population if that was their target.
Just imagine an enemy force taking over your skies for 12days with over a 100 fighter jets. Israel was magnanimous and merciful to the people of Iran
