A Russian fighter jet has taken down a Ukrainian MiG-29, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

“Combat aviation of Russia’s Aerospace Forces has taken down a MiG-29 jet of the Ukrainian air force,” the ministry said.

The ministry also reported that Kiev’s forces have lost several Western-made armor pieces, including a Bradley fighting vehicle.

“Seventeen counterattacks by the Ukrainian armed forces have been repelled. The enemy has lost more than 410 soldiers, two Leopard tanks manufactured in Germany, an infantry fighting vehicle, and three armored personnel carriers, including an M113 made in the United States” in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), the statement read.

In the DPR, Ukraine lost a total of 230 service personnel during two counterattacks that were repelled by Moscow’s forces, the ministry said.

A large number of Soviet-era MiG-29 warplanes have been delivered to Kiev by its EU backers since February 2022, when Moscow launched its military operation.
