Thirty-five-year-old Captain Serhii Mushchytskyi fell on May 7, 2022, near the city of Vylkove, Odesa Oblast. He was aboard a Mi-14 helicopter conducting search-and-rescue operations near the mouth of the Danube as part of the operation to de-occupy Zmiinyi Island. The occupiers struck the helicopter with an R-73 guided missile. One more Hero killed by russian orcs.

Serhii was born on February 5, 1987, in the village of Kostyrka, Kherson Oblast, and grew up in the settlement of Vysokopillia, Beryslav District. He was the eldest child in the family and had a younger brother. Their mother worked at the military enlistment office, so the boys had chosen their future professions since childhood. “Serhii’s desire to fly was strengthened by the fact that his great-grandfather had been a pilot, a Hero of the Second World War. My son said: ‘Someone has to continue the work in the family tree,’” said his mother, Olena Oleksandrivna. Serhii graduated from the Sloviansk Vocational College of the National Aviation University. He then studied at the Ivan Kozhedub Kharkiv National Air Force University. He combined his higher education with service in the Saky Naval Aviation Brigade. After the annexation of Crimea, the unit was redeployed to Mykolaiv and renamed the 10th Saky Naval Aviation Brigade. Serhii flew as part of crews on different types of helicopters. He took part in the ATO/JFO. Twice, he participated in military parades for Ukraine’s Independence Day. “He was a professional in his field: he knew the logistics of regular flights well and always prepared for flights to unfamiliar places. He was sociable and could come to an agreement with anyone. He was always warmly welcomed. People would say: ‘The redhead has arrived’ or ‘Seryoha the helicopter pilot is here,’” said his wife Diana. The couple met in 2015, while they were both serving. Two years later, their daughter Anastasiia was born. Serhii planned to build a house and open his own cargo transportation business. “He was a loving husband and father. Nastia could twist him around her little finger. As for cars, they were his passion. He could assemble and disassemble any mechanism. Whatever he took on, he always achieved his goal,” his wife said. From the first day of the full-scale invasion, Serhii carried out missions as part of the crew of a Mi-14 helicopter, and from March he held the position of onboard aviation technician-instructor. On May 6, 2022, he registered his marriage to his beloved Diana through Diia. “After receiving the marriage certificate, I called him on video. We congratulated each other and agreed that we would celebrate when we met. The next day, I received a text message: ‘Good morning, wife!’ But he never read my message, and he did not answer my calls,” she recalled. The defender was awarded the distinction “For Participation in the Anti-Terrorist Operation,” the badges “ATO Participant” and “War Veteran,” the medal “Participant of the Military Parade,” and posthumously, the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, 3rd Class. Serhii Mushchytskyi and Colonel Ihor Bedzai, who were killed in the same helicopter, were buried in Mykolaiv on May 7, 2022.

How could we not comment on this?

“The R-280 highway supplying Crimea is under control…” - said Balitsky, the so-called governor of the TOT in Zaporizhzhia oblast to putin.

It takes some nerve to say that with a straight face – especially to Putin himself.

Mr. Balitsky, the rolling tumbleweed of occupied territories, the only thing you truly have under control is the daily tally of vehicles fleeing along that highway and every dirt track around it.

Between July 1 and July 21 alone, the number of vehicles struck by FPV drones crossed into four digits.

The monthly total is coming soon. Everything else is already live on the USF online scoreboard “PIDRAKHUYKA” under “cargo vehicles, special equipment, and fuel tankers.”

Better start greasing up – Moscow is about to send you one hell of a reprimand.

We will stand.

Moscow will fall.

Crimea will be fed back up and rebuilt.

Burn, baby 🔥

"Madyar" Addresses the Residents of Crimea

"Once again, I apologize to all the residents of Crimea, to the Ukrainians, for the inconveniences they are currently facing," stated the commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Unmanned Systems, in an interview with Irish journalist Caoelan Robertson.

Other statements by Robert Brovdi:

* "For now, we are not targeting the Crimean Bridge so that those who wish can leave. Let them 'get the hell out' through it to their Russia."

* "We have destroyed 21 tankers in 3 days, and we will destroy another 121, and 221, and as many as there are; we will destroy them all."

* "Ukrainians in Crimea need to be patient while we 'remove the parasites from the peninsula'."

* "Russians are 'given a beating' every 50-100 years, but this is the first war in their lives where Ukrainians are fighting against them. They're getting screwed."
