Su 27 fighter shot down over Kiev

A Su-27 fighter jet was shot down over the Ukrainian capital. A CNN journalist reports that a Su-27 fighter jet, which is in service with the Ukrainian Air Force, was shot down over Kiev this morning. According to preliminary data, the combat aircraft collided in the air with an unknown missile, probably even fired by the Ukrainian military. At the moment, it is known that as a result of a rocket hitting an airplane, the latter began to fall on residential buildings. This led to the destruction of civilian infrastructure. In particular, it is known that the wreckage of the downed aircraft fell on a residential apartment building, which led to a fire. On the presented video frames, you can see the moment the aircraft was hit and the fall of its wreckage on a residential building. Judging by the video, the plane actually collided with a missile, since it can be seen that the fighter did not begin to disintegrate into large fragments in the air, and separate brightly burning fragments may be the result of a detonation or ignition of the ammunition load of a combat aircraft.
