In combat, a pilot of the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Air Force of Ukraine was killed

This was reported in the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian Air Force.

"Today, a young Ukrainian pilot did not return from a combat mission — a pilot of the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force, who struck the enemy on the hottest frontlines," the report says.

The Air Force added that tactical aviation pilots work at the limit of their capabilities, using all available foreign-made munitions. In general, the pilots carry out strikes under active enemy resistance. To perform tasks effectively, our pilots constantly have to enter the enemy air defense zone and withstand high g-forces during dangerous missions.

At the end of the post, the Ukrainian Air Force reminded that the war is ongoing, urging Ukrainians to support the military and honor those "who gave the most precious for the future of our children."

"Our Freedom and Independence come at a high price. We need enough resources and weapons and more determination from our partners to achieve a just peace in Ukraine! We will definitely avenge every Ukrainian whose heart stopped beating because of Russia’s senseless war of aggression," the Air Force concluded.
