Yet another crazy low pass by a Ukrainian Air Force aircraft!
Filmed somewhere in Ukraine, this video shows the latest stunt by a Ukrainian Air Force jet: in this case a fully armed Mig-29 Fulcrum in the high-visibility, white, yellow and light blue livery of the Ukrainian Falcons aerobatic display team.
It looks like Ukrainian pilots like to fly low and fast on people filming them. In the past we have reported about the Mig-29 overflying pro-Russia separatist blocking rails at very low altitude, an Ilyushin Il-76 buzzing some Su-25s and Frogfoots returning the favor while buzzing the tower, and also an Mi-17 helicopter flying among the cars on a highway.
H/T From the Skies for the heads-up!

There is a list in wiki for Afganistan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soviet_aircraft_losses_during_the_Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War, ru-version has a table in the end): around 100 a/c (except tranport ones) within 10 years, including 36 Su-25, 1(!) Su-24. It means 10-12 per year.
