On the weekend of May 13th, 2024, the skies over Eastern Europe were once again the stage for high-stakes aerial combat. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the downing of a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet, though the exact location of the interception remained undisclosed. This interception was portrayed as a significant triumph, showcasing the capabilities of Russia's sophisticated air defense systems.

However, this victory was tempered by a notable loss on the same day. As reported by the 47th Mechanized Brigade in the Kyiv Independent, Ukrainian forces managed to shoot down a Russian Ka-52 "Alligator" attack helicopter. While the precise details of this engagement were also not provided, the brigade's operations towards Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region hint at the location of the incident.

What are the details of this interception? and why has it become such significant news?

    “They retaliated by downing an alligator helicopter”……..that wording makes it sound like they could’ve downed the helicopter at any time, but chose for some reason not to, until they were provoked by one of their airplanes being shot down……cmon man, this is a war, that literally makes no sense. Also citing a newspaper outlet from either side as a credible source of information is odd and ridiculous…..

    Ukraine using SU-27 against Russia is like Bruce Lee's student using techniques they learned from Bruce Lee to fight him. No wonder Ukraine lost!
