Pilot Vladyslav Rykov died
The pilot's death was reported by his brother, combat pilot Rostyslav Lazarenko.
Vladyslav Rykov had 385 take-offs on his account.
He was the best pilot and commander I knew. He covered my back from the beginning of the full-scale war both on the ground and in the air, he prepared a large number of both combat followers and presenters, — Lazarenko wrote.
This is an extremely heavy loss for me, because during these almost two years of war, Vlad was always there and we solved all problems together. Few people knew Vlad, but I will tell his story later, because such people should be known and remembered — he gave his life for our lives, for our freedom and for our Ukraine!
Vladyslav Rykov was a Su-25 pilot. His wife and little daughter survive him.
