Ghost of Kyiv: Unconfirmed Ukrainian Pilot Hailed For Reportedly Shooting Down 6 Russian Jets

Social media footage is being widely circulated showing a Ukrainian pilot in action dubbed 'The Ghost of Kyiv', which is certainly impressive to behold. Unconfirmed reports say he has downed 6 Russian enemy aircraft with his MiG-29 fighter jet. The score means he is now a 'fighter ace', an air force term used for a pilot who has downed at least six enemy aircraft.

I’m begging major media to report on whether “The Ghost of Kyiv” really exists—as if it’s true that today a heroic Ukrainian fighter pilot single-handedly downed *6* Russian jets, this flying ace immediately becomes a stirring symbol of Ukraine’s resistance to Putin’s war crimes. pic.twitter.com/Nmlu68Fknj
