A sailor from Izmail eliminated an enemy Su-34 fighter with the help of an old Soviet Igla MANPADS.
ArmyInform tells about the skillful fighter Dmitry.
The guy recalls that the Russian planes took off very quickly.
“They were not heard, and it is hard to see because of the clouds. They fired several missiles at the city and flew back behind the clouds. I watched this moment on the signal bridge and realized that once was not enough for them, they would want to return to strike again strike,” the sailor notes.
The Russian planes did indeed return, and the fighter prepared to fire. From the old Igla MANPADS, the military man immediately launched a rocket. The occupiers had one less aircraft.
“Then all my senses turned off, my head was“ cold ”, and my hands did everything themselves. Apparently, thanks to constant teachings, as well as instinct: either they are us, or we are them. So, whatever weapon they have, victory behind us,” the sailor said.
The publication notes that the old Soviet MANPADS, which costs 60-80 thousand dollars, destroyed a modern aircraft for 40 million dollars.
Earlier it was reported that a National Guardsman in the Zaporozhye region from the Igla MANPADS hit a Russian aircraft , which costs $11 million.
