Re: Ukraine Ace?

Considering that Ukrainian forces claimed to have downed 30 Russian aircraft (plus 31 helicopters) by 06:00 this morning (and the 'Ghost of Kyiv' stories were from a few days earlier), it would seem highly unlikely that one pilot could have been in a position to have downed 5 or 6 of these.

As always these stories will help to bolster morale in the face of terrible odds (much like the Malta Gladiators), but I'd be amazed if it was anything other than that.

Regards,

Steve
