Today, October 1, 2026, another Ukrainian defender fell in combat.
Flying a MiG-29 fighter jet, he carried out missile and bomb strikes against Russian occupiers along one of the front-line directions.
During the mission, his aircraft was hit by an enemy missile. The pilot ejected, but tragically did not survive.
Captain Marat Redvanovych Mambetov was a flight commander in the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade "Ghost of Kyiv."
We extend our deepest condolences to Marat's family and loved ones. He defended Ukraine until his very last breath.
🇺🇦 Heroes never die!
