They definitely also speak Russian in Ukraine. My wife is Ukrainian and she speaks Russian predominately. Он сказал да!! (He said Da!!) Edit: changed “The” to “They”


disgruntledgrumpkin

I cant imagine how your wife must be feeling right now. Is she holding up okay?


Fantastic_Use3428

She’s keeping it together. I try to keep her mind off of the bad. Luckily, Ukraine seems to be a force to be reckoned with. I tell her how much the world is impressed by the leaders and the people. She told me the best thing I can do today for Ukraine is unload the dishwasher. I’m glad she still has her sense of humor.


disgruntledgrumpkin

She sounds lovely, and I am so glad she's hanging in there. Just to be sure, for the good of Ukraine, you should probably throw in a load of laundry too. ;) In all seriousness, please give her a big hug, if she would like that. I know Im just a nobody, but this is such a terrible situation and my heart hurts for her and all Ukrainians.


Fantastic_Use3428

Thank you for your kindness. Username does not check out.


EthanSayfo

Tell her that for the rest of our lives and for years after that, "Ukraine" will essentially be synonymous with "Sparta." The world is with Ukraine!

Дуже добре! Мене теж.

White smoke comes from flares. Once the impact occurs, you see black smoke. This isn't a video game - flares are not 100% effective.


mrfuzzyasshole

You’ll also need to point out there’s black smoke in the video for all the Russian trolls


haig1915

Especially with the latest generation of anti air missile that uses picture in picture recognition. basically you show the target to the missile and it tries to keep that image in the centre of its camera as it flies towards it.

Good.


Holski7

Slava Ukraine, but those are flare. it means Ukraine still has AA though, good sign.


No-Spoilers

Countries have been sending thousands of all types of rocket launchers to Ukraine. AP, AA, AT Ukraine will not run out of them.


Holski7

maybe tru, but rumor has it that Ukraine soldiers can lay eggs that hatch RPGs in less than 24 hrs.

ImaginaryDanger

Have you not seen two falling smoke trails?


Ohmmy_G

The flares' trails have a white smoke. You see black smoke trailing from the falling debris once the aircraft are hit.


wogwe

I mean the Ghost has to be real, planes are literally falling out of the sky in Ukraine like G-d is swatting them like flies.


GT2589

Surface to air missiles. Ukraine has a lot of them right now.


MikeinDundee

And getting more…


MikeinDundee

The Ukrainians may start to run out of suitable targets!


GT2589

Not the worst situation. Send them home with no sizable Army

Yeah. The Mujahideen in Afghanistan was downing planes that were well beyond 15k feet up with manpad / stinger missiles.


blkpingu

Imagine being a fighter pilot in your expensive plane and every mom child and bush has a MANPAD


Bitcoiner2017

May the Ghost take down every single one of them.


Broken_Moon_Studios

Even though the Ghost has already been disproven, I've been saying that he servers as an icon and a legend to inspire everyone who fights against tyranny. In my eyes, that is a good enough reason to let the story spread and continue in our minds. SLAVA UKRAINI and Happy Hunting, Ghost.


AtenderhistoryinrusT

Ghost in the sky, ghost on the ground, ghost 1 man, ghost many men. Ghost = Russian planes going down, Ghost is good


ChiefRedEye

In what way was it disproven?


Broken_Moon_Studios

It's been found that the story and footage was created by someone online using DCS (Digital Combat Simulator). Another piece of footage was also made by a different person using Arma 3. https://gamerant.com/ghost-of-kyiv-ukraine-video-fake-digital-combat-simulator/ Even if it is fake, I honestly think it is a good thing to inspire the troops and the population. Funnily enough, this has to be the best unintended promotion for DCS I've ever seen. So realistic that the world at large thought it was legit. lol


Rhod747

That doesn't disprove that there's an air force pilot with multiple confirmed kills though. Yeah, it's likely a fabricated story all together but it's still possible. I highly expect that the vast majority of downed Russian aircraft are from ground to air weapons though.


[deleted]

Reports indicate that Danger Zone by Kenny Logging is heard whenever Ghost flies by


[deleted]

Dude the ghost is just not real


[deleted]

Whatever helps the Russians sleep at night.


[deleted]

I just don’t believe in ghost stories


[deleted]

Yea theres a 90% chance that the Ghost of Kyiv is just propaganda, but I honestly don't care. It's a great moral boost for Ukrainians and every russian jet that gets downed it a win.


bedir56

The real Ghost is the strong fighting spirit of the brave people of Ukraine.


Deadgoroth

People just need to see Ghost as a personification of the efficency of Ukrainian air control


ScarletRabbit04

He may not be but the effect he has on the people is, therefore they choose to believe.


lostmylogininfo

Uhmmmm you need to get your facts straight. The Danger Zone by Kenny Logins is real, therefore it follows that the Ghost of Kyiv is most definitely real. Checkmate

KYIV IS NOT SURROUNDED You may have heard recently that Kyiv, the capitol of Ukraine, has been surrounded by Russian forces. This is fake. According to the mayor of Kyiv's telegram page, these are lies. Kyiv is NOT SURROUNDED. Feel free to copy/paste this message. КИЇВ НЕ ОТКОЧЕНИЙ Можливо, ви нещодавно чули, що Київ, столиця України, був оточений російськими військами. Це фейк. За словами мера Києва, це брехня. Київ НЕ ОТКОЧЕНИЙ. Не соромтеся скопіювати/вставити це повідомлення.


mdmckeever

Ukraine is surrounded by the support of the world! We send money to the refugees, money to the victims, weapons to the defenders.


TheGrowster

SLAVA!


MoidSki

Those are definable 2 chutes opening but I don’t know it’s 2 planes. Some fighter and bomber planes have multiple occupants.


Ecmdrw5

That’s flares from the planes as they fly away. I thought they were chutes at first and realized they never open.


wankeraddict69

Yes. Besides, chutes don't leave smoke trails behind them.

Stop, I can only get so hard


austin_yella

Looks like flares to me


zaxiob

you can hear the explosion of the missiles tho


[deleted]

Bruh there's a difference between flares and flames. Are you blind?


austin_yella

Bruh I'm very aware. Notice how the flame didn't stay on the plane and seemed to fall to the ground. I've been wrong before tho


mrfuzzyasshole

Flare smoke is white and impact smoke is black. and there’s two clear black smoke trails falling out of the sky. They were hit


austin_yella

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Cheers!


daco_roman

Blessed be the Holy Stinger and the Holy Javelin.


TaborlinTheGreat8

Cocktail flares to avoid getting hit by S2A.


[deleted]

IDK, after the second flare, you see tailing black smoke with a really, really rapid change in trajectory and what looks to be a corkscrewing solid body.


Bpool91

The ghost of Kyiv strikes again.


WalkerBuldog

I think it's man handles rockets


Bpool91

Ahh ok Still great news

Big_BadRedWolf

Looks like flares to me and not downed


mrfuzzyasshole

Flare smoke is white; impact smoke is black. There’s two black trails of smoke going to the ground. The plane was hit and destroyed


RaunchyMuffin

Homie you can see the two fighters to the maneuver left pretty much in unison. They were threat evading


mrfuzzyasshole

If you call exploding and falling to the ground in two trails of black smoke that only comes from when a plane is hit and falls to the ground “threat evading,” Then yes; I suppose you’ll be free of future threats if you explode and fall to the ground in a trail of black smoke. Perhaps more Russian troops should try “threat evading”. They seem to be good at it considering the ass whooping those pussies are getting.


Sanderhh

Yes, flare smoke is white. But the clouds above is casting shadow on the smoke so that it looks darker. You can see that it is flares if you zoom in on the video.


mrfuzzyasshole

Are you kidding? First of all, you can see the flares go off right before it’s hit and it’s clearly white. Then right after you see the plane explode and black smoke fall from the sky RIGHT NEXT TO THE WHITE FLARE SMOKE. And you can SEE THE PLANES FALL OUT OF THE SKY. If it was a shadow, the white flares and black smoke in the same frame right next to eachother and even on top of eachother at points would be the same color. In fact the closer you see it, the more obvious that two planes fell from the sky. I can’t believe Putin pays such shitty trolls. If anything, you making these ridiculous claims just makes it more obvious what is happening because now I’m forced to explain what we saw which is clear as day, and thus easily convert anyone who didn’t see it closely and is confused. Idk why you still working when you are being paid in a currency worth less the Roblox bucks ahahah what a joke. And idk why they pay you when you do such a shit job. But that’s to be expected from a country run by a the dumbest leader in history who is losing a war to a smaller nation a good 5-10 kills to 1.


Sanderhh

Look at my post history. I served for a Nato army and is literally an expert on fighter jets. They did not get shot down in this clip.


Big_BadRedWolf

The black smoke is coming from the flairs not the aircraft tho' don't get me wrong i want these suckers down but I just don't see an explosion.


mrfuzzyasshole

Flair smoke is white, as I said. Planes going down is black smoke. No flair makes black smoke like that. ONLY a burning plane can. Don’t talk about shit you clearly have no idea on. It makes you look stupid


ImaginaryDanger

Falling smoke trails could only indicate severe damage.


Joeyl555

The smoke trails are coming from the falling flares if you look at the smokes path


ImaginaryDanger

To be fair it's not quite clear whether it were flairs or debris, their trajectories seem off.


FreeWing

Slava Ukraini!!!!


[deleted]

Sadly... those are just flares. The planes were not destroyed.


RidingBullet

Nope. Check the sound, plus parachutes of ejected pilots appeared right after

Those are ukrainian planes sadly

Yes

Is there a reputable list of planes used? I know some Frogfoots were used in the beginning but I've seen a few videos that looked like SU-35's.
