Pilot of the Su-25 attack aircraft managed to land the plane after being hit by a MANPADS missile

While performing a combat mission in the zone of a special military operation, the Su-25 attack aircraft, which is second in the pair, was hit by a missile from a man-portable air defense system fired from the ground by a serviceman of the armed forces of Ukraine.

The pilot of the damaged aircraft, assessing the situation, decided to turn off the damaged engine and not leave the aircraft.

During the landing approach, the pilot of the damaged Su-25 reported on the failure of the control and monitoring systems of the aircraft, landing on the commands of the pilot covering him.

The landing was made without incident. Thanks to the cold-blooded and skillful actions of the pilot, Denis Litvinov, he managed to save the life of his friend and the combat aircraft.
