A rather interesting loss of Ukrainian aviation from the very first day of the war has surfaced.
It is reported that on 24 February 2022, while withdrawing aircraft from the Ozernoe airbase, a Ukrainian L-39C(M1) Albatros combat training aircraft was shot down by a Russian fighter. The pilot, Major Dmytro Kolomiets of the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade, was killed.
Interestingly, Kolomiets was shot down over the village of Kryntsilov on the border of the Khmelnytsky and Ivano-Frankivsk regions, which is hundreds of kilometres from the state border. This suggests that either Russian Air Force fighter aircraft flew virtually all the way into Ukrainian territory in the first 24 hours, or that this L-39 was shot down by "friendly fire" from Ukrainian air defence, which in the panic of the early days fired at almost anything that moved.
