The Ghost of Kyiv
« on: February 24, 2022, 10:54:39 PM »
There is an internet rumor of a Ukrainian Mig-29 pilot with up to 6 kills.  Has anyone seen any credible stories to back up this rumor?

I'm just hearing rumors of this also. I'm thinking it's stretching the truth, but not sure how far. Super badarse if true.

There's some vids of Russian helos on the ground. A couple ka-50s and hinds? all shot up. And some transports too. It could be possible but a lot of unverified stuff coming out of there right now. Haven't heard anything about Russian fighters shot down but who knows.

I hear he was born in a mental institution and only sleeps one hour a night.

Hard to believe until proven, being in a jet fighter like that. They are looking for anyway they can to make it seem like Ukraine is putting up the good fight. That's basically all I've been hearing is how strongly they are fighting back. Hard to say though.

Either way that ghost (true or not) needs a lot more victories than 6.  Sounds like the Russians are having there way for the most part.
