MSNBC: Top Ukrainian Pilot Killed in F-16 Crash

‘An F-16 jet was shot down killing its pilot, while repelling a barrage of Russian missiles this week’

EXCERPT:

MCLAUGHLIN: “We still don't know why the F-16 jet crashed. This is what Ukrainian authorities are saying. They're saying that on Monday, in the midst of that massive Russian missile attack, Russia launched more than 100 missiles and 100 drones at Ukraine on Monday. The F-16s, for the first time on the battlefield here in Ukraine, according to President Zelenskyy, were part of that air defense trying to shoot those missiles out of the sky. Moonfish, that's his call sign, the pilot in question was flying one of those F-16s. According to Ukrainian officials, he'd shot down three missiles and one drone and was on his way to another target when they suddenly lost communication with him, he crashed and died. Now that crash is under investigation.”
