Now this is interesting.
Now this is interesting. "Kanamat Botashev, a 63-year-old retired major general, was killed flying a warplane in Ukraine at the end of May, becoming the highest-ranking Russian pilot whose death has been publicly confirmed. The Ukrainian military’s general staff said that an SU-25 fighter jet that Botashev was flying was shot down over Popasna in the Luhansk region and that Botashev did not have time to eject.
Russian officials have not explained how a retired general who was dismissed from the military in 2013 after crashing an SU-27 fighter, which he did not have permission to fly, ended up in the skies over Ukraine."
