The "Ghost of Kiev" is dead, claims Ukraine

Ukraine is claiming 29 year old Maj. Stepan Tarabalka is the Ghost of Kiev, and that he was killed in combat "against overwhelming odds". They're also claiming that he shot down... wait for it... 49 enemy aircraft.
Forty. Nine.
Yeah, no. Complete and utter bull$#!t.
I doubt the Russians have lost that many fixed wing aircraft in the entire war.
Of course, I don't think the "Ghost" ever existed at all. I think he was a Colonel Tomb-type PR creation, such as the North Vietnamese used, and the Ukrainians just plugged this guy in.

Is the news telling me that I should care about this? Or am I supposed to be outraged about something else at this time?

Should have an ejection seat. Maybe the Ruskies have him.

Questioning other official historical numbers like this is illegal in a lot of countries...

I don't believe anything they say without absolute proof

Thankfully, the Odessa A$$ Bandit remains unvanquished!

It’s still a better story than the guys on the island that were told to surrender and then defiantly told the Russians to frick off…before surrendering.

Didn’t they prove he never existed? Sounds like a job for the disinformation queen.

just in time for him to vote Democrat in the midterms.

It's just as make believe.

Martyrs generate more sympathy and passion.

There is zero chance he shot down 49 Russian jets.

If this is the guy from that video game footage...
Can't he just respawn?
