Under Chasov Yar an American-made AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radar was hit. Our pilots shot down a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter in an air battle over Volnyansk in Zaporizhzhia. And near Novogrodovka in the DPR, an enemy Mi-8 helicopter was liquidated. The list of colonies liberated from Ukrainian nationalists is growing. On Thursday, Dubovo-Vasilevka was added to them.
