Ghost of Kyiv Book

The famous manga author Matsuda Jyuko was inspired by the events of February 2022, when during the severe escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukrainian pilots of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade heroically defended the sky over Kyiv.
The feat of the Ukrainian aces gave rise to the legend of the Ghost of Kyiv, a MiG-29 pilot who, in the first 30 hours of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, scored six aerial victories in the skies over the capital: he shot down two Su-35s, two Su-25s, an Su-27 and a MiG-29 .
