Ukrainian Soldier Fires Stinger Missile At Russian Su-34
Published 2 years ago
Footage shows a Ukrainian soldier firing an FIM-92 Stinger missile at a reported Russian Su-34 fighter bomber jet somewhere in Ukraine.
It's not clear from the footage if a hit was made on the aircraft, and Stingers are "heat-seekers" which means they can be defeated by countermeasure flares.
As Russia staged forces around the Ukrainian border prior to the invasion, NATO allies collectively delivered approximately 2,000 Stingers to the Ukrainians.
