"... And then a mine below us... Fly through the steering wheel ... Darkness...I Vaguely remember deuce of our attack comes. Shoot. Fired missiles. Started to shoot trap. One of them gets a missile MANPADS. Puffed, out in the direction of Starobeshevo. The second turns, goes on the second attack, fires the rockets, gets into something with the ammo, because the explosion is very strong. Out. Enjoy..."

Describes the tragic events near Ilovaysk their party Vsevolod Steblyuk, at that time surgeon General of the battalion "Peacemaker" (his story can be read on our website).
In the cockpit of the assault, which began to smoke, was a military pilot, captain Vladislav Voloshin.
"We were at one of the airports in temporary bases. Came goal is to help our troops, because they were surrounded.
The stretch of road from Ilovaysk, through which our troops had planned to exit this boiler was blocked by the militants and the Russians. Our task was to eliminate these forces and means.
We have developed a plan, route and began to fly. I was the lead pair, I was a slave. The pair worked on the purpose, the task is completed.
Returning the reverse route on boundary low altitude, I considered the hill, and on it equipment – whether the Russians, or terrorists, can't be certain, because the markings were not.
I suggested to his slave: "the enemy on the right, go left". He had to leave, and me at the same moment knocked. I won't even say where it hit, because the blow was so powerful that I was thrown onto the dashboard. I went back to the chair. The plane started to spin, perform a barrel – at the height of their own. In my efforts to return it to its original mode of flight he refused to respond. I had to screw it in the opposite direction and to eject already at an angle to the ground.
Fortunately, I was lucky that the terrain was with ravines. So I was in the ravine and ejected. This is and saved me".
In a year of war in the East pilots flew 33 sorties, participated in all key operations, including those during which were shot down by our Sukhoi SU-25.
Military pilot Vladislav Voloshin was one of 16 heroes of the ATO, whose portraits hang in a place of honour in the presidential Administration.
The caption under the photo says that the captain with the Callsign "rook" during a combat mission in the su-25 was shot down from SAMS terrorists, but successfully ejected.
By the decree of the President of Ukraine "for personal courage and heroism while defending state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, loyalty to the military oath" was awarded the order "For courage" . degrees.
