"It's almost nominative determinism?"😄

This is #Pavlo_Zhalko. He shot down the #Russian_Su_25 with an #Igla_MANPADS.

Glory!

#Pavlo serves in the #57th Separate Battalion of the #104th territorial defence brigade. He shot down the #Russian aircraft in cooperation with the anti-aircraft missile unit of the #28th Motorized Rifle Brigade.

Curious fact: #Pavlo's last name can be loosely translated as "#Stinger" - the name of another #MANPAD system that #Ukrainian Defenders use.

Shooting down a #Russian cruise missile from an #Igla_MANPADS in the morning in the western part of #Ukraine.

Glory!

On the morning of November 17, #Ukrainian Defender #Nataliia_Hrabarchuk destroyed a #Russian cruise missile with #Igla_MANPADS. It was her first combat launch and her first hit!

Before joining the Army, #Nataliia was a kindergarten teacher.

"When the enemy missile came before me, I pushed aside all emotions and nervousness. I had done hundreds of training launches on simulators," #Nataliia says. "And here — the first combat one, and it hit the target!"

Glory!
