    The Ghost of Kyiv

    The apex of harm that mankind can do to one another is definitely WAR, something I am always against regardless who’s attacking who. My neighbor country Ukraine got in invaded by the Russian forces from all sides, something I cannot fully comprehend to this day. It’s the first time in my life that war is this close to me and my family. I stay out of politics on the internet but WAR cannot be ignored. As a human being me and some of my family gathered a whole bunch of food and basic supplies for the fleeing women and children and we personally deposited it to one of the cities close to the Polish Ukrainian border! So if you can PLEASE HELP!!! As an Artist I simply wanted to voice out to STOP THE WAR and thus made this piece as a tribute, myth, truth or legend? I see it as a symbol of brave defense of a country. But the most important is that these 2 beautiful countries should forfeit it NOW. Also the mig-29 is one of my favorite looking fighter jet designs.

    Posting everywhere - the real Ghost of Kyiv flew an Su27, and his name was Colonel Oleksandr Oksanchenko, and his nickname was the Grey Wolf - he was the pilot and team captain of the Ukraine Su27 demo team for air shows for many years. RIP to a Legend in the ComBloc Aircraft Community.

    What does the "Ghost of Kiev" and Ukraine NATO membership have in common? They both doesn't exist.

    Because its more believeable for the people that last fighter jet of Ukrainian Airforce are fighting agains't all odds than a 2nd biggest Airforce can't wipe out the almost entire Airforce of Ukraine in a hours

    Ukrainian Airforce deserve a lend leased f16 and f15

    Well, it was footage from DCS, at least it's more realistic

    More realistic at least than the simulations Russian State Media is putting out where they use a single nuclear torpedo to completely engulf Ireland and the UK with a 500m high radioactive tsunami.

    Not true. Ukraine has admitted that the Ghost of Kiev is the embodiment of all fighter pilots. Not just one person

    It's about keeping up morale and hope. Vatniks call it 'Ukrainian Propagada guh guh' but the truth of the matter is: These people are fighting for their survival and independence.
    Slava Ukraini. As someone who's ancestors had fought for the independence of my country, I pray for your victory.
