Ukrainians shot down a Russian General in a fighter jet?!
Video Summary
Russian General Major Kanamat Potashv was shot down while piloting a Su-25 over Ukraine’s Luhansk region. This is the highest-ranking Russian pilot to be shot down over Ukraine. Interestingly, General Potashv was previously dismissed from the Russian army in 2012 after he performed unauthorized stunts in a military plane, including crashing the aircraft and being forced to eject at 500 feet. Now, Russia is facing a shortage of pilots and is reactivating pilots previously dismissed over the war.
Meanwhile, in Saint Petersburg, a rare anti-war chant, “War is bad,” was heard at a concert. This is unusual in Russia, where discussing the war or the president can be dangerous, with finesse or 10 years in prison. The situation in Ukraine remains dire, with Russian forces attempting to take the city of Severodonetsk. Ukraine has been pushing back, and their frontal lines are relatively static.
The US has been providing Ukraine with advanced weaponry, including the Switchblade drone, which can be used for reconnaissance or to destroy Russian tanks. The use of outdated T-62 tanks by Russia has been confirmed, and their ability to produce modern tanks is dwindling, with over a thousand tanks destroyed.
