THE “GHOST OF KYIV”: IADN: Shared by Sunil Naik

The “Ghost of Kyiv” is no more

Ukrainian Air Force Flanker air show display pilot, and national hero of Ukraine, Colonel Oleksandr “Grey Wolf” Oksanchenko, was shot down over the capital Kyiv last Friday night shortly after his seventh air to air kill against the Russian Air Force (RAF) by a Russian S-400 Triumph Air Defence Missile System.

Known only as the “Ghost of Kyiv,” he is said to have single-handedly brought down six Russian planes since the invasion began, until his 7th kill.

Colonel Oleksandr “Grey Wolf” Oksanchenko had chosen to come out of retirement, and once again put on his flight suit to defend his beloved country.

Col. Oksanchenko was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine by the president of the Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy
