A serviceman with the call sign “Kipish”, who serves as part of one of the mobile fire groups, has already destroyed 20 enemy targets. His story was told in the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In civilian life, before the start of a large-scale war, the man made furniture and engaged in wood carving. Therefore, he is characterized by precision with regard to details and the desire to bring everything to a brilliant result.
During its service, “Kipish” destroyed 20 air targets, including missiles and Iranian drones. The last shot from the “Wasp” air defense system was a real test of accuracy for him: the enemy drone was hit at a distance of 6,200 meters.
“The moment when you see the target exploding in the sky is difficult to describe. This is joy and relief, because you understand that you have saved dozens, even hundreds of lives,” says “Kipish”.
The mobile fire group, in which “Kipish” serves, works as a single mechanism. All team members have clearly assigned responsibilities, and most importantly, they support each other in the most difficult moments.
“We are not just partners, we are a family. Everyone has their own task, but success depends on the coherence of the entire team. If necessary, we are ready to replace each other, the situations are different, but everyone is very responsible for their work,” he adds.
“Kipish” recently got married. His wife is waiting for him at home, who supports and inspires him. “I am 30 years old and I dream of the day when the war ends, I return home, plant a tree, and my wife gives birth to a son. This is in the plans for the future, and now my goal is victory,” says the man.
His words reflect the spirit of all Ukrainian defenders who risk their lives every day for our security. The work of such fighters as Kipish is an example of courage, professionalism and patriotism. Their contribution to the struggle for freedom cannot be overestimated.
“But for this, it is necessary to unite, increase our capabilities and capabilities, and go to defend our native country to everyone who was born on the land given by God, who breathes Ukrainian air, who has a strong spirit of a winner!” – stressed the PS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As ArmiyaInform reported, during a massive attack by Russian troops in December 2024, a Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot destroyed six enemy cruise missiles in one sortie. This is the first time in the history of the use of the American Fighting Falcon fighter.
