Zelenskyy Axes Air Force Chief After F-16 Crash Scandal: War of Words Erupts Over Pilot’s Death

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed General Mykola Oleshchuk from his position as head of the Ukrainian Air Force following a public dispute related to a fatal F-16 jet crash.

The incident, which resulted in the death of pilot Aleksey ‘Moonfish’ Mes, has ignited a heated controversy between Oleshchuk and MP Mariana Bezuglaya from Zelenskyy’s ruling Servant of the People party.

Bezuglaya claimed that the jet was accidentally downed by a US-donated Patriot air defence system, a statement Oleshchuk vehemently denied, accusing her of undermining the military and aiding Russian propaganda.

JAW-DROPPING VIDEO: Delta Pilot DODGES Midair Disaster As B-52 Bomber Crosses Flight Path

A Delta Connection flight operated by SkyWest narrowly avoided disaster when its pilot was forced to perform an "aggressive maneuver" to dodge a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber near Minot, North Dakota. The Embraer E175 was descending toward Minot International Airport when the massive B-52 Stratofortress unexpectedly appeared in its flight path. The pilot swerved sharply to avoid collision, later apologizing to passengers and admitting the situation caught him by surprise. A viral audio clip revealed the pilot’s stress and frustration at the lack of warning, citing that the Air Force base should’ve coordinated better. Passengers described the experience as terrifying but remained oddly calm until they learned the truth. The flight circled the airport several times before safely landing. The U.S. Air Force has yet to issue a statement, while SkyWest has confirmed an investigation is underway. Minot AFB houses B-52s and strategic missile wings. #DeltaAirlines #B52Bomber #NearMiss #MidairIncident #SkyWest #MinotAirport #PilotHero #FlightEmergency #USAirForce #BreakingNews #FlightSafety #MinotAFB #AviationNews #MilitaryMishap #EmbraerE175 #AirForceBomber #ViralPilotAudio #AirportGoAround #AirspaceCloseCall #PassengerPanic Also Read New Yorks Highest Court Upholds Ban on Chokeholds by Police :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-york-city-chokehold-ban-upheld-by-highest-court-gen-3686947.html?ref=DMDesc "Minneapolis - Nawabi HYDERABAD HOUSE Grand OPENING" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/minneapolis-nawabi-hyderabad-house-grand-opening-2677237.html?ref=DMDesc 5 shot in US at rally over death of black man: Police :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/5-shot-in-us-at-rally-over-death-of-black-man-police-1936144.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.124~

Putin RETALIATES After Ukrainian Drone Strike | MiG-31K Jets Take Off With Deadly Kinzhal Missiles

Ukraine has declared a nationwide air alert after Russian MiG-31K jets—capable of carrying Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles—took off, sparking immediate concern of long-range strikes. The Ukrainian Air Force urged civilians to seek shelter. This comes in retaliation for Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian bomber bases, which destroyed over 40 aircraft. Overnight, Russia launched waves of drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv, causing casualties. Failed peace talks in Istanbul and Putin's silence since the air base losses signal deepening conflict and an unpredictable escalation ahead. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #MiG31K #KinzhalMissile #AirAlert #Putin #UkrainianAirForce #DroneStrikes #WarInEurope #Donetsk #Kharkiv #Chernihiv #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaStrikes #UkraineUnderAttack #Zelenskyy #PutinRevenge #Geopolitics #MissileThreat #BreakingNews #ConflictZone #PutinSilence #PeaceTalksFail #MissileAlert #UkrainianDefense #AirRaid #RussiaRetaliation #PutinStrikesBack #MiG31Threat #UkraineCrisis #WarUpdate ~ED.103~HT.318~
