Flying a MiG-29 fighter jet, this pilot has reportedly downed 6 Russian planes throughout Thursday and became the 21st Century's first confirmed fighter ace. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79190218 In air force lingo, a fighter ace is a pilot who somehow manages to down at least 6 enemy planes. A feat that is extremely difficult to accomplish, hence the reason it hadn't been done so far in this century. What makes this feat so complicated is that the kills are air-to-air in nature. So far, 'The Ghots of Kyiv' has downed 2 SU-35 fighters, 1 SU-27, 1 MiG-29 and 2 SU-25 planes. At 4:20 a.m. in central Kyiv, there was a clear debris falling in the center of the city. The city's Ministry of Defense confirmed they managed to intercept another Russia aircraft at that time.

He is actually an American voluntewer named Chuck Norris. Last night, he singlehandedly shot down 17 Russian planes; however, he was hit and had to eject into Russian territory where he was immediately surrounded by a platoon of ten Russian special forces operators. Chuck took out the first six with his sidearm, killed two more with his MK3 knife and dispatched the remaining two by strangling them with his parachute cord.
