Ukrainian troops have dramatically downed a Russian fighter jet over eastern Ukraine as an oil depot was set ablaze by a drone strike more than 100 miles away in Russia.

The Soviet-designed Su-25, nicknamed “Frogfoot” by Nato, was downed over Kramatorsk, Donetsk, as it fired on Ukrainian troops.

Love when journalists call anything with a jet engine and wings a "fighter jet"

Meh, close enough for the general public and us nerds know what a SU25 actually is.
