Ukrainian Farmer shoots down Russian fighter.

Yep, according to the story he climbed up on his roof and shot it down with one round out of his shotgun/rifle.

Scroll down and note the RIFLE he is holding in the pic. I wonder if he was using Number 6 shot or Number 4!

I do not believe anything coming from either Russians or Ukrainians.

That pic of the plane going down was shown months ago being shot down with a stinger, maybe the guy fired the same time as the stinger launch.

I posted this earlier here on here and assuming he used the SKS as he has a picture with him holding a SKS. Story goes he got a metal for it and he has pieces of the plane! True or not?

Sounds like a bunch of nonsense

I was riding in the backseat of an L-19 observation plane when the whole interior was filled with green light. We had been hit by a .51 DshK (Russian equivalent of the .50 BMG.)

We got the hell out of Dodge. That night, the pilot woke up moaning and groaning -- his scrotum was the size of a grapefruit. We got him to the aid station, and the doc squeezed out a piece of metal about the size of a pinhead. Unknown to us, we had also been hit by a 7.62mm bullet, which disintegrated on the seat rail.

The pilot made a full recovery.
