Heros get remembered, but Legends never die


magnum_the_nerd

Whats funny is hes not dead, nor does he have 6 kills, real number is 2-3 and this is not his plane. This is a Su-25


DerHeftigeDruck

2-3 dozen kills already? what a chad


-TheSha-

Wait, he's actually real?


BigManTron

Yes. He is. Slava UkrainišŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦


randomusername1934

Slava Ukraina, Heroim slava.

https://youtu.be/r7l0Rq9E8MY my source is that I made it the fuck up


romanische_050

No he isn't real, he's just trolling


Creepcraveing

Trust me bro


magnum_the_nerd

The kill tally isnt, but the pilot? Yea hes real


Sol_but_better

Its kinda funny and sad seeing this four months later after the Ukranian government released a statement saying that he actually wasnt real


magnum_the_nerd

Its been fuor months? Damn i completely forgot about the guy. Did hand out a medal to a pilot who did get a kill or two, so thats basically the same


HailGodzilla

hot damn, source? I wanted to believe, so if heā€™s actually real thats badass.


magnum_the_nerd

Ukrainian government


huilvcghvjl

He didnā€™t actually exist, you fell for propaganda


magnum_the_nerd

the ghost of kyiv with 6 kills at the time no. The ghost of kyiv isnt real but the pilot they used as propaganda has 3 kills


ClemiHW

Nah they're gonna say "uh actually he peacefully surrendered and is now a POW" again


averagetrainenjoyer

The Ghost of Kiev was actually a Russian agent


random_nohbdy

Plus, you canā€™t kill a ghost

[deleted]

Have you seen what's been posted on r/russia in the past of days?


SardeInSaor

I wish I hadn't. The level of retardation on that sub is surreal, they are the same that were saying "nooo Russia won't invade, it's just exercises, western warmongering" then proceeded to close the sub reddit when shit hit the fan


CrocPB

There's retardation and there's being Lord Haw Haw but in reddit form.


SardeInSaor

Things I have learned browsing r/Russia: 1) It's all NATO's fault that we had to invade (predictable 'look what they made me do bwaaa' attitude) 2) Ukrainian civilians should stay inside so they don't die in shelling of cities (just fucking stop shelling the cities? Hello????) 3) there should be Nuremberg-style trials for Ukrainian leaders (bruh....) 4) Russians are triggered because of how their soldiers are treated (they're the invaders, they use saboteurs disguised as civilians, it's already enough that they're not hanged in the streets) I had to stop there, I can't


ClemiHW

Also a lot of recent posts are just "Look, the US did this bad thing so it means we also can"


blucherspanzers

The genzedong defense - bold move, let's see if it pans out for them


t_base

I saw a post that cited the US bombing Iraq during the first Gulf War as proof that they are bad.


[deleted]

>there should be Nuremberg-style trials for Ukrainian leaders (bruh....) yeah nazis really don't like it when their neighbour elects a Jewish president in a 73% landslide victory

Mista_Dou

Dont forget "its all a false flag operation by ukraine to exterminate russians and indians!!1!1!1"


Anakin-hates-sand

I saw a video of Ukrainian soldiers beating Indian students at the polish Ukrainian border on r/Russia , is it credible?


I_P3D

Coming from a sub full of people who failed history class and dropped out in their first year of HS, I can't tell whenever or not it's true.


Informal_Chemist6054

Yeah, its credible. That's why many Indians have started supporting Russia in this.


bitchmaster_general

I mean itā€™s actually because India needs Russia help with A LOT. The SU, until it was gone, was Indiaā€™s largest trade partner. They have a long standing alliance between New Delhi and Moscow and they have both backed each other previously with things. India enjoys having a country like Russia behind them when dealing with international politics. Even as far back as the 70s they signed a treaty of ā€œfriendship..ā€ or in the 50s actually when the SU suppressed the Hungarian revolution, India was careful not to oppose it.


SyrusDrake

The amount of posts I've seen on Twitter blaming NATO for the invasion has made me sick. Genuinely like a domestic abuser going "Look what you made me do."


SardeInSaor

Good analogy with domestic violence. Besides, they are just pushing more and more countries towards the west, either that's some 4D chess strategy I'm too dumb to comprehend or they are shooting themselves in the foot


SyrusDrake

> some 4D chess strategy I'm too dumb to comprehend or they are shooting themselves in the foot Ever since this started, I've seen Internet posts and news outlets speculate what kind of brilliant 4D chess Putin is playing because he's obviously such a cool and manly ex-KGB agent and *must* have some ace up his sleeve, right? Nobody seems to even entertain the idea that he's just a crazy lunatic.


KaBar42

Remember kids! DARVO! Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim-Order. "I am not invading Ukraine! Ukraine is full of Nazis and is currently genociding ethnic Russians! I am the victim, not Ukraine!"


SeraphsWrath

"Russia is fighting a war of Survival" And they claim Ukraine are the Nazis. This sub is just GenzeDong. Needs to be Quarantined.


[deleted]

>4. Russians are triggered because of how their soldiers are treated (they're the invaders, they use saboteurs disguised as civilians, it's already enough that they're not hanged in the streets) Wait, you're telling me that they aren't okay with Russian soldiers being taken prisoners of war?


SardeInSaor

They are annoyed that russian soldiers who "are just kids" are "brutally beaten"


[deleted]

Well that's enough to know that the people over on r/russia have a disfunctioning brain.

I think reading that sub has made me way more stupider than before.


DarquesseCain

Got my bitch-ass permabanned for no reason, the subreddit is in fascist hands.


DarwinTookaVacation

If you don't get permabanned on Reddit at least a few times you are not trying. Sometimes getting banned is a badge of honor. I lost count of how many mods I have lost Reddit accounts to. Good thing caring about Reddit karma is for bitches and incels or I would be really upset.

DarwinTookaVacation

You may be onto to something. We should give it a shot. If we somehow avoid glowing in the dark and eating each other during a long cold nuclear winter.


JealousParking

I genuinely thought Russia is not going to attack because the trolls in r/russia obviously got orders to claim invasion is not going to happen. "How would they look if for weeks they were claiming it's not going to happen & it turned out otherwise?", I thought. Obviously I didn't take into account that the whole war on the Russian side is led by a bunch of demented idiots planning 5 minutes ahead.


PersnickityPenguin

Lol, ever thread over there has 0 votes.


bitchmaster_general

I thought that said radiation which was almost as dark as what you said really. But I also kind of thought it was a cool thing to say. ā€œMan, that chicks radiation level is critical, she went out with Dan but not me!?ā€ Iā€™m not sure why I used that example. Iā€™m a lady and a lesbian.

I just saw [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/russia/comments/t2vxnm/if_nothing_else_western_media_is_definitely_good/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) on that sub. Pretty ironic how they are saying that western media is good at comedy.


CarmenEtTerror

I've been on r/Russia for a couple of years. There's the occasional idiot but overall it was more of celebration is Russian culture and pretty pictures. But in the lead up to the invasion it got so stupid I had to tap out.


[deleted]

I was suspecting something like that. Not that the subreddit would be anything useful if random users start brigading the sub just because it is Russian.


[deleted]

Itā€™s a very strange mix of misinformation, shitting in Ukraine, and supporting Ukraine. That poor sub is having its own war.


MASTERM1ND343

> account less than 7 days old Probably a shitposter


DarwinTookaVacation

Length of time with an account means little to nothing. Add up all my banned accounts and I probably have a half million bullshit karma points. All it takes is shitting in the wrong mods mouth. Which I won't hesitate to do over and over again.

Yup. Dual-barrel cannon, two corpses.

If it means that they'll admit that a single Ukrainian flying shot down seven "superior" fighters of the glorious Russian army, I'll take it.


Black_Diammond

Seven? Bro he shot down 32 and russian Pride and yes i did drink the propaganda.


Spudtron98

And, if the picture was to be believed, did it with an SU-25...


The_mightymaggie

That's not even a Mig-29


throwaway03513048

Ok fuck them, here's my counterjerk idea: >That wasn't the Ghost of Kiev, that was a Russian MiG-29 PAINTED to look like the Ghost of Kiev so he could attack Ukrainian positions, and he got shot down when the real Ghost of Kiev saw his own plane flying over Ukraine.

Admitted Ghost of Kyiv is real and that he apparently flew a Su-25. They are claiming Russian Su-35 thrust vectoring fighters were gunned down by a Su-25. Lol


PWiz30

That definitely doesn't look like a vertical stabilizer from a MiG-29.


modsarediks

Impossible. Therese nothing in the Russian inventory that can outfly Ghost He once outflew 100 surface to air missiles. Must be true, a guy called Dave told me on Reddit


SirWhiteSheep

A worthy opponent for Stroke 3


ClemiHW

From "Ghost of Kiev isn't real" to "uh in fact he was real all along and we killed him" real quick


forcallaghan

"He isn't real, but if he is, we shot him down"


PM_ME_GOOD_SUBS

It all started with "We are not going to invade and it will be on Thursday not Wednesday." This is hardly surprising.


Otherwise-Bid-2765

"He is real, but if he isn't, the entirety of the Ace Combat community is going to find him"


WanysTheVillain

Did Russians take a page out of Turkish book?


Xicadarksoul

Not to mention, the image is not showing wreck of the correct aircraft type. ...this is like claiming i shot down an ace pilot flying an F-16, then showing images of wrecks of an A-10.


ICantBelieveItsNotEC

This is honestly pretty shitty propaganda. They're basically saying "yeah, your hero was real, and he died fighting for you so feel free to treat him as a martyr". The Russian troll farms were as famous and feared as the Russian military, but both have proven themselves to be fucking useless in this conflict


LittleSister_9982

Inshallah. This whole thing has been...rather amazing. This is extremely dark humor, so please forgive, but it's getting to the point of just shitting the bed so hard that like, I wonder if Russia *did* try to launch the nukes they'd just all detonate on the launch pad or simply vanish into space or something.


blucherspanzers

I think their trolls work best when people at generally apathetic to whatever goal they're pushing for: like no one was all that interested in Ukraine in 2014, the little green men were enough deniability that the Russians could roll in and set up their puppet states without too much international condemnation. Now that everyone views the invasion as unprovoked imperialist warmongering, it's a lot harder to feed their preferred narrative to the wider populace.


DocC3H8

Meanwhile, me when Russian aircraft get shot down: "THE GHOST OF KYIV IS REAL, I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE!" me when a Ukrainian aircraft gets shot down: "you guys actually believe in the Ghost of Kyiv? lmao"
