During a combat mission as part of the crew of a Mi-14 naval helicopter, Colonel Igor Bejai, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for Aviation, was killed. He was killed by a Russian fighter rocket.
This was announced on Facebook by the director of the Return Alive Foundation Taras Chmut, Ukrinform reported.
“One of the best officers of the Navy, Colonel Igor Bedzai, Deputy Commander of the Navy for Aviation, died in the Ukrainian sky. “He is better known as a former commander of the 10th Naval Aviation Brigade from Novofedorovka, near Sak, Crimea,” he said.
As Chmut noted, in 2014, Colonel Bezdai was “almost the only one in the entire fleet command who showed leadership and determination.”
“While everyone was waiting for the mythical” orders from Kyiv “, he organized the personnel, prepared the equipment and in front of the occupiers overtook all the working planes to the mainland of Ukraine. And the next day he repeated this with those who could not take off on the first day. In fact, thanks to the leadership of Igor Vladimirovich, we have kept the Navy, “he said.
On May 1, it became known that the famous paratrooper – “cyborg” Ruslan Borovik died in battle in eastern Ukraine.
