A fighter ace from Ukraine carried out a bombing run that destroyed a river crossing in Kursk.

A renowned Ukrainian fighter pilot is seen in a video executing a bombing mission in the contested Kursk region, where Kyiv's troops have achieved significant advancements.

Every day, the Ukrainian Air Force engages in precision strikes and maintains objective control, as seen in this footage following a recent incident with one of their F16s. The commander expressed gratitude, and the Air Force's actions were described as relentless and selfless.

A 30-year-old fighter pilot from Ukraine, Vadym Voroshylov, led a mission in a Soviet-era MiG-29 supersonic fighter. The mission employed glide bombs created through a joint effort between Boeing and Australia's Defense Science and Technology Organization.

The video depicts technicians loading missiles onto a plane while Karaya, also known as Voroshylov, inspects the aircraft before takeoff and enters Kursk airspace. The footage then displays the destruction of a bridge, both from a distance and through Karaya's targeting display.

Over the past month, Ukraine has focused on attacking bridges and crossings over the Seim River in Kursk in an effort to hinder Russia's supply of forces in the region as Ukraine continues its efforts to seize control of the territory, according to East2West.

Newsweek reports that Voroshylov has emerged as the face of Ukraine's Air Force following a series of impressive moments in the first year of the war, including when he ejected from his plane after allegedly shooting down five Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones.

The image of his bloodied face and "thumbs up" after escaping showed the defiant and catalyzing image that Ukraine wanted to project as Russia continued to attack the border regions.

For his deeds, Voroshylov was awarded the Order of the Gold Star and the title "Hero of Ukraine."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy awarded this title to Voroshylov for his personal courage and heroism in protecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as his selfless service to the Ukrainian people.

The latest footage of Voroshylov's bombing run brings the "Hero of Ukraine" back to the headlines after Ukraine reports its first loss of an F-16, which Zelenskyy had fought hard to obtain.

One month after acquiring advanced planes, Ukraine's forces suffered a devastating loss when Russian missiles destroyed the plane and killed pilot Oleksiy Mes.

Despite the Ukrainian military's claim that the crash was not caused by enemy attacks, the BBC reported that officials stated that the pilot destroyed three cruise missiles and one drone during Russia's largest attack on Ukraine since the start of the war.

Ukraine largely diminished the smaller barrage of 10 missiles and 80 drones that Russia launched after the initial attack with 100 missiles and 100 drones.

The BBC reported that a military source stated that Ukrainian officials did not specify that Mes had flown an F-16, but the source claimed that it was an F-16. Several sources suggest that the crash was caused by either mechanical failure or pilot error, although a member of Ukraine's parliamentary defense committee claimed it was due to friendly fire.

Zelenskyy fired his Air Force commander after the destruction of an F-16, citing the need to protect the lives of Ukrainian soldiers.

Despite the arrival of jets from Denmark, the Netherlands has confirmed that it will provide 24 additional jets to Ukraine as Kyiv continues its push into Kursk.
