Compilation of a large number of Ukranian FPVs striking Russian recon UAVs, I wonder how they are tracking them other than mk1 eyeball.
Don't know if some of the footage contain multiple pass against the same recon UAV but the agility of the little FPV quad give them an edge for a fast interception.

FPV lag don't give a lot of chance for using explosives remotely, so they need to ram them with explosive or just use kinetic force. Don't know how many kill they got.

Looking at this, they got ample time do to that much interception in the last two years even if it's soldiers that eye ball them first against the blue sky.

There are rumors that this guy got killed in one of the recent strikes on Ukranian air bases. Allegedly, he was killed when his F-16 was on the ground. But as with everything of this nature, take it with a bag of salt.


An F-16 is definitely gone. Both the pilot and plane was lost on Monday.

Ukrainian F-16 Is Destroyed in Crash​

Aug. 29, 2024 at 10:17 am ET

A Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet was destroyed in a crash on Monday, according to a U.S. official, just weeks after the first of the American-made aircraft arrived in Ukraine.

Initial reports indicate the jet wasn’t shot down by enemy fire, although the incident occurred during a massive Russian missile barrage across the country on Monday, the official said. Rather, the crash was likely a result of pilot error.

Ukraine used the jets for the first time in combat to shoot down Russian missiles during the strikes this week, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Ukrainian Air Force wouldn’t confirm the crash or the status of the pilot. The Pentagon referred questions to the Ukrainian Air Force for comment.

The news that one of Ukraine’s few F-16s has been destroyed is a major blow to Kyiv, which had pleaded for the jets for months before President Biden finally gave the green light for European countries to transfer the aircraft last year.

Kyiv hopes the advanced Western aircraft will give its forces an edge on the battlefield, particularly to shoot down incoming Russian missiles and help protect troops on the front lines. But they are also vulnerable to Russian air defense missiles and present a high-value target for Moscow’s forces.

Zelensky announced on Aug. 4 that the first of 80 promised F-16s had arrived in Ukraine. The Ukrainian air Force didn’t provide numbers, but a second U.S. official said a total of six aircraft had arrived and Ukraine has six pilots trained to fly them.

That is such a massive propaganda win for Russia

Meanwhile Ukrainian fronts are collapsing from Synkivka to Selydove to outskirts of Pokrovsk

The writing is on the wall, Russia is going to win
Would crash look better than destroyed on the ground by missile attack? Seems to me to be about the same. If it is not a coincidence why bother with this cover up?

The timing does line up very well. Missile strike on airfield, F-16 pilot killed, F-16 crash all pretty much at the same time on the 26th.

The moment an Iskander took out four MLRS and four armored vehicles. One of the MLRS might have been a HIMARS. The vehicles could have been carrying extra rockets, which accounts for the tremendous explosion.

The defense in the Pokrovsky direction is so disorganized that the Russians themselves do not believe in their advances.

Unfortunately, the higher command still receives reports about the “controlled situation”, which is far from being controlled.

Among the main problems of the leadership:

- poor interaction between brigades and smaller adjacent units.

- shortage of personnel and their disproportionate distribution in defensive positions.

- our EW suppresses our drones better than the enemy EW.

- disorganization of brigade rotations. One can leave before the other enters. The enemy takes advantage of this and attacks right there.

- the OTU command does not effectively manage the troops, has not established interaction and does not have information about our real positions. There are often cases of units being sent to positions that are already in the rear of the Russians, because the OTU thinks they are behind us.

- lies, lies and lies again.
A Ukrainian activist and one of the largest suppliers of FPV drones has provided some details about the lack of defense coordination in Pokrovsk. It appears that there is also systematic false reporting and lying within the Ukrainian chain of command.

Video from the original Ukranian offensive in 2023. It seems to be a longer version of that infamous video of an Ukranian soldier triggering a mine as soon as he jumped off the ramp of a Bradley; it seems it was a rescue attempt after an entire squad got stuck in a sea of antipersonel mines, where the soldiers can barely move without triggering a mine trying to get back into the Bradley
