Ukrainian troops have dramatically downed a Russian fighter jet over eastern Ukraine as an oil depot was set ablaze by a drone strike more than 100 miles away in Russia.

The Soviet-designed Su-25, nicknamed “Frogfoot” by Nato, was downed over Kramatorsk, Donetsk, as it fired on Ukrainian troops.

Jet warplane is correct and broad enough to be accurate. Light bomber is still closer if they want to be specific.

Calling it a fighter is what made the Russian lies about the airliner they shot down sound plausible.
