A Sicheslav paratrooper downed a Russian Su-25 armored attack aircraft on July 29.

That’s according to the press service of the Airborne Assault Troops, Ukrinform reports.

"Yesterday, July 29, in Donetsk region, a serviceman with the air defense unit of the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade of the Sicheslav Airborne Assault Division shot down with an Igla MANPADS system another Su-25 armored attack aircraft operated by the Russian occupiers," the report reads.
