The Phantom of Kiev, the mysterious pilot who shot down six Russian planes in 30 hours

The losses suffered by the Russian forces in less than two days of aggression are greater than can be imagined. The 10 planes were shot down. Six of these will be at the expense of a fighter pilot, on the MiG-29, which has already received the nickname “Kiev Ghost“(Ghost Kiev). His “victorious battle” was reportedly recorded on February 24 in a videotape for residents of the capital, as reported by “Vikna“.

The footage is actually fake: Created in Digital Combat Simulator and uploaded by a YouTuber, who explicitly stated in the description that the video is not real but simply a tribute to the “Ghost of Kiev”, whether it exists or not, wishing it was possible to “Keep Fighting”.

Therefore, doubts remain that the “character” is immediately described in one Entry to Wikipedia in English As an invention: “Perhaps the Kiev ghost is an urban legend and not a true hero of aviation, but its existence (by the Ukrainian authorities, ed.) has been endorsed as an important moral motivator for the population.”
