Wed 23jul2014 again 2 Ukrainian Su-25s shot down

Post by Stratofreighter »

..."business as usual" and "life goes on" I guess... :roll:

KIEV, Ukraine — Two Ukrainian military fighter jets have been shot down in the east, according to the country’s Defense Ministry.

The Sukhoi-25 fighters were shot down 1:30 p.m. local time Wednesday over an area called Savur Mogila.
No word yet on which type of weapon(s) was/were used, but I suppose the rebels do not dare using their radar-guided missiles again... :roll:

Two Su-25 shot down near Snizhne, a place close to the MH17 shot down.

The time closed to the passing of the Netherlands C-130 and the Australian C-17. Near passing in time and location.

Let's not dramatize this, area where they shot down the two Su-25s is south of Donetsk, nowhere near the C-130 and C-17. (Saur Mogila that is, Snizhne is east of Donetsk near crash site of MH17)
