On 9 March 2022, a Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade was downed by Russian forces in the vicinity of Novopil, Zhytomyr Raion, Zhytomyr Oblast. The pilot, Mayor Yevgeny Lysenko, of the 204th Tactical Aviation Brigade was unable to eject and was lost in the accident. The crash was officially acknowledged by the Ukrainian Air Force in a Facebook post on 15 March 2022. Ukrainian sources state that Lysenko reportedly engaged in combat with two Russian aircraft, downing one but falling victim to Russian aviation or air defence.
Imagery of the crash site includes a section of the MiG-29's right rudder. Through observing the digital camouflage pattern on the rudder, the aircraft can be identified as bort 10 White, serial 2960721109 of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade. However, due to conflict conditions, it is more than likely that the two brigades use a shared pool of operational aircraft.
It should be noted that Lysenko's grave depicts the MiG-29 bort 57 White of the 114th Tactical Aviation Brigade, likely just chosen for aesthetic reasons.
