Quote: "We are repelling another attack by Shahed drones.

There was a combat operation against a Russian Su-30 in the Black Sea in Odesa Oblast. We are studying the in-flight recording material to know for sure whether the target was hit or not.

However, it has been confirmed that our anti-aircraft missile system hit a Su-34 fighter-bomber on the Mariupol front! It did not return to the airfield.

'Eternal flight, brothers!'

Merry Christmas!"

Background: On Christmas Eve, 24 December, Russia again attacked Ukraine with several groups of Shahed kamikaze drones, and explosions were heard in Odesa. The Air Force warned of a missile strike.
