“Occupied Alchevsk, Luhansk region. Rumour has it that a plane was shot down and fell in the direction of Zimogorya. At the same time Russian groups were writing about the work of “our aviation” as something soon began to fall slowly from the sky. It landed very loudly with a bright glow.”

Тут поговаривают, что сбили самолет, а упал он в стороне Зимогорья

В это же время по руснявым группам писали о работе "нашей авиации", как вскоре что-то начало медленно падать с неба

Приземлилось очень громко с ярким заревом https://t.co/LT0L50uebI pic.twitter.com/jvH3B7iFeZ
