Ukrainian air defense forces shot down another plane of the Russian occupiers.

The news was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"It is the real combat work of the anti-aircraft missile forces of the Air Force of the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine). Another Russian plane met Ukrainian land," the video description reads.

The Chief Editor of "Censor.Net" Yuriy Butusov, clarified that the video shows the work of the anti-aircraft missile system "Osa-AKM."

It is the first time we have seen the Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile system "Osa-AKM" battle with Russian aircraft. Most likely, the video shows how today our soldiers shot down the newest fighter-bomber Su-30SM PKS of the Russian Federation in the area of Popasna in Donbas. It is the excellent work of the Air Defense Forces of the AFU, which has been "destroyed" by Russian propaganda many times, he wrote on Facebook.

As of yesterday the Air Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed 44 planes and 44 helicopters of the Russian occupiers.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is currently working on getting other countries to provide Ukraine with fighter jets.
