Ukraine-Russia war live: Ace Ukrainian pilot nicknamed ‘Juice’ among 3 killed as combat jets collide mid-air
Ukraine has lost three military pilots, including a “mega talent” who wished to fly F-16s, after two L-39 combat training aircraft collided west of Kyiv, the air force said. The three men included Andriy Pilshchykov – callsign Juice – “a Ukrainian officer, one of those who greatly helped our state”, said Volodymyr Zelensky. Pilshchykov has been hailed as a “mega talent” and leader of reforms by Air force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat.
