Sambor (Sambir)/ Eastern Galicia, market before WW2 (Source: Wikipedia)

[kalopyrgos1]

Sambor (today Ukrainian Sambir) is in Eastern Galicia. This posr card looks like it is from the time when Galicia belonged to Austria (until 1918). It is written in German. Who wrote it? Almost half of the town's population were Jewish. Even though most spoke Yiddish in their everyday life, many also knew German, even talked and wrote German. So, I dont know, but it's well possible or even probable - and I must think of the fate of the Jews there. They all were murdered by the Germans in WW2. And we should not forget today that Ukrainian "Hilfswillige" (auxiliary troopers) helped them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambor_Ghetto

Two Ukrainian MiG-29s shot down, one of them by "friendly fire"

In just 24 hours, the Ukrainian Air Force lost two MiG-29 fighters during fighting near Pokrovsk, a site occupied by the Russians in Donetsk. One of the jets was shot down by a Su-35 and another would have been by the air defense of the Ukrainians themselves.

One of the Ukrainian MiG-29 fighters was shot down near Pokrovsk on March 8, possibly by a long-range R-37M missile fired by a Russian Su-35S fighter. Some sources report that the air defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may also have been the cause of the loss of MiG-29.

The image of the MiG-29 being shot down was captured by the cameras of witnesses who were in the region occupied by the Russians.

The official command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces kept silent about the loss of the fighter, but an obituary about the death of pilot Andrei Tkachenko spread on social networks by an organization of scouts from the Lviv region. He was from the city of Sambir, was considered an ideological Ukrainian and at the age of 33 had ascended to the rank of major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Andrei was one of the best pilots of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and was flying on a combat mission. The Ukrainian MiG-29 are adapted to use North American JDAM glider bombs. Near Luhansk, Ukrainians usually fly at ultra-low altitudes, but to effectively use JDAM, fighters need to gain altitude, where they become a vulnerable target.

On Saturday, March 9, the Ukrainian Air Force lost another MiG-29 fighter, which was also shot down near Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), in the territory temporarily occupied by the Russians. The air defense worked well, but the point is that it was Ukrainian.

Ukraine's air defense systems shot down the MiG-29 fighter, with images of the crashed plane being distributed by Russian and Ukrainian media. Initially, Kiev said that the plane was not theirs and the air defense did not fire anywhere, but the data obtained clearly show that the fighter was hit by a missile launched from territory controlled by Kiev.

According to data from Ukrainian public pages, the plane crashed near the village of Shevchenko. The fighter was trying to return to the base, but couldn't. The pilot could not eject and died in the fall. The missile was launched from the area of the village of Novoolenovka, located in the Pokrovsk - Konstantinovka - Toretsk triangle. It is not known which specific air defense missile system was used to hit the aircraft.

“The plane tried to make a 180-degree turn around a vertical axis maintaining the horizontal position, while releasing countermeasures, but the missile hit the fighter in the tail,” Ukrainian public pages said.

A large fire broke out at the place of the plane crash and the crashed fighter burned completely.
