A Russian Su-25 attack jet was reportedly shot down over the Donetsk region after being hit by rockets fired by its own wingman during a combat sortie.

Video of the incident appears to show the aircraft being struck moments after a rocket salvo was launched, resulting in one of the most unusual friendly-fire incidents of the war caught on camera.

🎥 Watch closely. You’ll see exactly how quickly things went wrong.

Back in 1995 at the Mashonaland Flying Club Air Day in Harare, Zimbabwe, an Air Zimbabwe Boeing 707 put on one of the most incredible demonstrations ever captured on video.

The first pass was made at roughly 400 knots and extremely low altitude. Moments later, the same aircraft returned for a slow pass at just 125 knots with Flaps 40 deployed.

Seeing a four-engine jetliner this large moving that low and that fast is something aviation fans will likely never witness again.

The visit is gaining attention after reports linked the trip to the Boeing E-4B “Nightwatch” — the U.S. Air Force’s famous “Doomsday Plane,” built to function as an airborne command center during a major national emergency.

There is no official confirmation of any active “doomsday plan,” but the timing has sparked massive discussion online as military activity increases across several regions worldwide.
