One of Ukraine’s most celebrated and decorated fighter pilots, known by his call-sign “Juice,” was among those killed over the weekend in an apparent training accident, the Ukrainian Air Force revealed Sunday.
“The identities of all 10 victims have been established,” the investigative team said in a statement. “They correspond to the list stated in the flight manifest.”
“It’s almost a one-way ticket to fight [Russian] fighters,” Juice explained in April 2022. “It’s very difficult. We are ready to die in the fight. We don’t want to die. But if we have to, we want to be effective before we die.
Juice’s accident came just days before he was set to begin training on the F-16s he’d fought so hard for. Russia has dominated the skies since declaring war, leading Mr. Zelenskyy to plead for fighter jets from America and Western allies.
