Eternal flight," the author of the FighterBomber telegram-channel wrote. On April 19, 2024, the Ukrainian military-political observer Alexander Kovalenko hinted at the death of the fourth Russian pilot, who, according to experts, evaluate "the weight of gold", because they are undergoing special training and such people are quite a little in the Russian Federation.

"The fourth member of the TU-22M3 crew, which this morning unexpectedly realized the whole corruptness of being, through the laws of gravity, was found in the forest planting of Stavropillya with a blood clot, which was clearly broken,"-said Alexander Kovalenko. "TU-22m3 pilot is a separate caste among Russian pilots, closed and small.

And therefore, the loss of even one such crew member is a painful and sometimes irreparable loss, since the preparation of such a crew is sometimes worth the plane itself," Odessa added. The operation killed two Russian pilots, two more were hospitalized. On April 19, 2024, the Air Force spokesman Ilya Yevlash confirmed the destruction of the Russian strategic bomber Tu-22m3 300 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. According to Yevlash, it is a revenge for attack on Ukrainian cities.

Subsequently, it became known that the surgery to beat the Russian bomber was prepared for more than a week, waiting for a convenient moment for a successful defeat of the TU-22M3. The head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov stressed that the bomber was struck at a distance of 308 km. It used "the same techniques and the same means that we used when we destroyed the A-50 aircraft in the air. Recall that Russian missiles X-22 are knocked down by unknown means of damage.
