A Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade was shot down by separatist forces of the Donetsk Peoples Republic, a breakaway self declared state which had formed earlier in 2014. The aircraft reportedly exploded in flight, with the pilot managing to eject safely.
Earlier in the year, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry had stated that several mothballed Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 fighter aircraft to take part in a declared anti terrorist operation in Eastern Ukraine. This follows significant separatist activity taking place in Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast, following the ousting of former President Viktor Yanukovich, and refusal to recognise the legitimacy of the new government in Kiev.
