The Ukrainian pilot "The Ghost of Kyiv" on his first mission was reported to have shot down 6 Russian aircraft making him a Fighter ace his first mission. He then went on to shoot down a total of 40 Russians if the reporting is to be believed. Unfortunately depending on which side you think you are on he is now a dead fighter ace. He was reportedly flying a Mig 29 when he was killed; he leaves a wife and one child . All he ever wanted to do was fly which I can sympathize with. RIP. War sucks as to many good people end up dying on both sides.

I recall the original video depicting the Ghost, was found to be Video game footage.
Then it was said he didn’t exist.
Now, in this video they are saying the original video was an artists impression of his 6 kills.
I don’t know what to believe with this war.

Wait people still believe this one? Even the Ukrainian government has acknowledged the story was to help with moral.
The Ukrainian airforce was all but destroyed during the first couple days of the conflict. Hence all the nonsense with Ukraine wanting jets from Poland. There was no infrastructure to support what's being claimed to have happened not to mention the capabilities of the aircraft involved are like comparing muskets to mini-guns. None of it makes any sense.
