We are greatly saddened to report that the famed Ukrainian Air Force Flanker air show display pilot, and national hero of Ukraine, Colonel Oleksandr “Grey Wolf” Oksanchenko, was shot down over the capital Kyiv last Friday night shortly after his seventh air to air kill against the Russian Air Force (RAF) by a Russian S-400 Triumph Air Defence Missile System .
The famed Ukrainian Colonel from 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade was better known as “Grey Wolf”, and aside from being recognized as a formidable combat pilot, Colonel Oksanchenko is well remembered for his incredible aerial displays that entertained and inspired air show audiences across Europe for the past decade.
A true aviation lover, air show pilot, and hero to his country, Colonel Oleksandr “Grey Wolf” Oksanchenko had chosen to come out of retirement, and once again put on his flight suit to defend his beloved Ukraine.
Col. Oksanchenko was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine by the president of the Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy
The "Ghost of Kyiv" lives on in the hearts of all who fight to defend Ukraine!
Slava Ukraini! Heroiam slava!
