A paratrooper from Mykolaiv has shot down a Russian Su-25 Grach attack aircraft using an Igla man-portable air defense system (MANPADS).

"Today, on June 24, in one area, a serviceman with an air defense division of the Mykolaiv-based 79th Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces successfully shot down a Russian Su-25 Grach attack aircraft," the statement said.

On June 22, Ukrainian paratroopers shot down an enemy Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter in the east of the country.

They are all Super Soldiers. That is why Ukraine is crushing the Russian army.

Couldn’t they come up with something better-sounding than MANPADS?

I don't care who you are, that's FUNNY right there! MANPADS: means surface-to-air missile systems designed to be man-portable and carried and fired by a single individual;

They left out the part “15 seconds later, Ukrainian solder and all his buddies are evaporated by second Russian Su-25 Grach attack aircraft”.

It’s an acronym, standing for man portable air defense system. Today it would be a Non-Binary Person Portable Air Defense System. NBP2AD.

Ukraine is the greatest of the greatest of the greatest. They can call this guy the mastodon of Keev. They are led by the human Jesus in his army surplus shirt, who poots American money up in the air with Biden and McConnell’s blessings.

The Russians should be hiding in caves. They are done, finished, defeated. Putin sleeps with goats and has seventeen forms of cancer. I read it here every night.
