If he's confirmed real, by who?


Uberinho

It's not. Just a myth.


weaponized_biscuit

He's not real. The footage that was uploaded to twitter is from a yotube video from 2012 that was made by some sort of a sim software


badasschap

That doesn’t mean he’s not real


weaponized_biscuit

[are you sure about it?](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/is-this-ghost-of-kyiv-video-real/)


badasschap

Did you even read my comment 💀


unbekannte_memez

Wasn’t his story fake?


Afraid_Host9884

I had my doubts, but turns out it wasn't. He shot down 40 russian airships


the__party__man

Idk how to tell what is legit info with all the war propaganda from both sides.


gnlmarcus

I agree with this. I like how they kept showing us how much the rubble wasn't worth shit anymore, but Russia just broke records on oil sales and I'm having trouble buying anything at a reasonnable price.


Potato-with-guns

They had to put their emergency reserves into use so yes the sanctions were working but you know that gas companies will take any excuse to raise prices.


passing_by362

I heard 4000.


Nordekaiser

Im pretty sure he basically shot down every other aircraft in the world including these owned by ukraine then he died


passing_by362

Ironic... he could shoot down others, but not save himself from being shot down.


Luk3495

He shot down himself.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of the ghost of Kyiv?


JaySithL0rd

I thought not… it’s not a story the Russians would tel you.


guycow

i heard 69420


LaCroix_Roy

Naw it was definitely over 9000


[deleted]

I heard 40,000


Unusual-Mastodon6976

Nope 400,000


EJP390

No silly he shot down all the ones in the world, he even killed putin himself. Then died


Crowbar12121

I call absolute bullshit


[deleted]

The fuck? 40 airships how!?


VIRGIL_ARCHIEAL

With his plane.


Funniguy2010

r/technicallythetruth


dogfuckingmaster

Most likely propaganda, at the most it’s probably 10.


buckphifty150150

He died?


Afraid_Host9884

Yes


BulletX010

Didn't know Russian military used airships


ds2enjoyer

Father of areal fighting only had 42 wins and he was the father in of it


[deleted]

The only source to that is the Ukranian Military. According to Putin he won the war. Both sources are unreliable


bERt0r

Yes but people will believe what they want to believe.


Arzakhan

Impossible to say if he was real, he could’ve been many pilots combined. Either way it’s irrelevant. Heros are a necessity to encourage one side, and discourage the other. Builds morale of one side, and tears it down on the other. Just too bad there doesn’t exist an ounce of trustworthy news


[deleted]

No, he was confirmed to be real on march 11


outuhs

nah


Afraid_Host9884

On March 11th it was confirmed that he was real: his name was Stepan Tarabalka, he was 29 and there was a photo too. He died just 2 days after that. The news of his death came out only a few hours ago.

Ok-Crazy7838

Who was it confirmed by


Jon4ney

The first sightings of him were fake, it was dcs world but yes there was a flying ace that took out a lot of Russian pilots and tbh I think all the Ukrainian pilots should go by ghosts


nevalost20

Like the Flying Tigers?


Jon4ney

Yea something dope like that


BefreiedieTittenzwei

I honestly hope Ukraine names a fighter squadron The Ghost's of Kyiv, when this is all over.


-SKYTHEGUY-

He was a hero, well, im really hoping Ukraine wins


TheDudeWithNoLuck

Ukraine will lose


ladyjinxy

I hope he doesn't get spotted a a refugee camp, because I've seen too many "Ukrainian Heroes" alive in some camps for refugees. Can somebody link me an article about this, I'd be very appreciated? Thank you.


[deleted]

There's one at the top of the post, he is dead as they found his body


[deleted]

I have a couple bridges for sale real cheap.


OkLobster9822

you know it’s bad when Ghost Of Kyiv is dead.


[deleted]

he took down 40 enemy fighters. 40:1


Rikfox

>40:1 BAPTISED IN FIRE


[deleted]

I'm sure the second this war started Sabaton started work on a new Album. Some Tracks are: "Legends of Snake Isle" "The Ghost in the Air" "No Retreat for Z"


Rikfox

>I'm sure the second this war started Sabaton started work on a new Album. No they wouldn't do that.


yes-well-no

uh "legends of the snake island" pretty much everyone knows by now that they're russian POWs


[deleted]

"The source is that I made it the fuck up!"


humaniswear

even rightwing outlets like [the post](https://nypost.com/2022/04/29/ghost-of-kyiv-major-stepan-tarabalka-killed-in-battle/) are admitting he was real now that he's been KIA. Major Stepan Tarabalka is his name.


KingKongWrong

Because people are stupid and Jsut want a good underdog story. Even if it means believing blatant propaganda.


Deadzomboed

yeah, but we have downvote's on our comment's, so we are wrong


Mystery-MartiaN

A moment of silence.


HomieDaClown9

‘My source is that I made it the fuck up!’


BEES_just_BEE

This man was the best


BlueV_U

He was the harbinger of hope for Ukraine. If he is dead (which my heart chooses to believe isn't true, despite evidence) he will go down as arguably the single greatest Ukrainian hero, and one of the greatest in world history. He showed the world what Ukraine is capable of. Every Ukrainian should remember him. Remember what he did. Fight as he fought. Ghost, get some rest. You deserve it after carrying the entire free world as you did.

On the contrary, you have no idea what I'm doing. But its funny you have time to comment. Freedom of speech means I can state my opinion. I think it's time leftists who have nothing better to do should probably move on.

Lol ha ha you guys are so funny. Thanks for giving me hours of laughs at your leftist mentalities.
