Details: The Russians even mention the pilot’s name – Volodymyr Popovych.
Quote from Air Force: “Russian propaganda media are spreading information that a Ukrainian pilot has surrendered in Kursk Oblast.
Unfortunately, cases of capturing servicemen who used to serve in the Air Force do occur. However, the information about the capture of a Ukrainian pilot is fake. All Ukrainian pilots continue to perform tasks to defend the country.”
For reference: Pilots are a very important combat unit in armies. It takes months and years to train them, as well as a huge sum of money.
