A Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet, received from Western partners, was reportedly destroyed by a Russian 'Geranium' kamikaze drone, according to an unverified single-source report. No further details on the location or crew are available.
The claim, published by a desk-level intelligence feed, states that another Ukrainian MiG-29 has been lost to a Russian Geranium kamikaze drone. The report does not specify the location or the fate of the pilot. The Zioneer has previously covered a series of MiG-29 losses in the conflict: on June 27, Russia claimed its drones destroyed two parked Ukrainian MiG-29s and shot down a third; on July 4, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence claimed a drone strike destroyed a Russian MiG-29 at Belbek airbase; and on June 16, a Ukrainian MiG-29 crashed in the Khmelnytskyi region. The current report remains unverified and lacks independent corroboration.
