Ukraine confirmed the loss of a Western-supplied F-16 fighter jet and its pilot, Aleksey Mes, during a Russian strike.
However, reports suggest a Ukrainian Patriot missile misfired, causing the crash.
Kyiv officials are investigating, considering pilot error, technical malfunction, or friendly fire as potential causes.
Ukrainian MP Mariana Bezuglaya claims the incident resulted from unit dis-coordination, while Kyiv’s official report downplays the event, stating the pilot merely lost control.
