A Russian Su-24 Fencer bomber jet was reportedly shot down over Bakhmut and one of the two crew members can be seen falling to the ground at a controlled rate under a parachute canopy. It's unclear what happened to the second crew member during the ejection. There have been no confirming video reports indicating the nature of the downing, it's possible MANPADS footage will be released at a later time.
