The 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force, stationed at Ozerne Airport in Zhytomyr Oblast, issued a statement that one Su-27 fighter jet crashed over Zaporizhzhia, resulting in the death of 30-year-old Major Alexander Borovik. However, the brigade's statement did not disclose the cause of the Su-27 fighter jet crash or the exact location of the crash, but stated that they are currently investigating the specific circumstances of the incident. Therefore, it is currently unclear whether the Su-27 crashed due to mechanical failure, friendly fire from Ukrainian air defense systems, or being shot down by Russian air defense systems. However, one thing is certain: the Ukrainian Air Force has lost one valuable fighter jet and one pilot. Especially, every time the Ukrainian Air Force loses a fighter jet, the pilot cannot survive, which is very tragic. The continuous loss of pilots has a greater impact on the Ukrainian Air Force.
