Quote: "A Ukrainian pilot has filmed and edited a video of the MiG-29 fighter in action.

Ivan dedicates this video to his fallen colleague Yevhen Lysenko, who died heroically in an air battle with the Russian invaders on 9 March."

Details: The video dedication shows footage of the fighter’s sorties and combat action on Russian positions by various types of missiles, including, as confirmed by the UP in the press service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, American HARM anti-radar missiles.

As a reminder: At the end of August, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Ukrainian military had already begun successfully using high-speed anti-radar missiles against Russian air defence systems. 

Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat has said that the AGM-88 HARMs work quite effectively. The maximum launch range of the AGM-88 is 150 kilometres, while the minimum is 25 km.
