Who invented the "Ghost of Kiev": the Armed Forces told the birth history of legend (video)

Ilya Evlash told about the details of the "birth" of the prefabricated image of the pilot-hero of the operative-strategic group of troops (Osv) at the Khortytsia Information Agency Agency. Yevlash explained that the idea was born in his presence in February 2022. It was the "Brainstorm", which thought how to work on social networks, not to get "ban", and to show the exploits of Ukrainian fighters, pilots.

Two people directly involved in "birth" are a spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Sergey Cherevaty and a spokesman for the Armed Forces Command of the Armed Forces Vladimir Fito, - said the interlocutor of journalists. At first, the Cherevaty noted that it would be nice to create an image of a people's avenger that destroys the enemy. After that, the fity suggested that this avenger "The Ghost of Kiev".

The assembly image was to show pilots that knocked down Russian planes - then published many relevant videos, ”Yevlash explained. "Sergey Cherevati suggested that it was necessary to create an image of a avenger, a people's hero, the embodiment of a person who is ACM and can destroy . . . Thus, the "ghost of Kiev" appeared on the All -Ukrainian Telelorphone, spread among the world media and social networks.

Thanks to such "asymmetrical ideas" it was possible to influence the enemy: "demoralize, destabilize it with all possible and impossible channels and paths. " "We then invented and made non -standard, asymmetrical things that we gave us. In the first days, we have been punished quite much in the first days," Chortytsia summed up a spokesman. It should be noted that on February 25, 2022 a video appeared on the network how the Mig-29 pilot knocked down six Russian aircraft at once.

The Verkhovna Rada press service called the fighter "the ghost of Kiev". Within a month, the Air Force feats spoke abroad: their actions in the sky were surprised by the US Air Force, - said the pilot nicknamed Jus. In October 2022, it became known about the death of Mikhail Matyushenko pilot - it was he who directed Ukrainian pilots who reflected the attacks of the Russians over Kiev in the first days of the Russian invasion.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Air Force Yuri Ignat in an exclusive interview with Focus confirmed that the "ghost of Kiev" is a collective image that represents the exploits of the 40th tactical aviation brigade, which consisted of fighters from different parts of Ukraine. From the fall of 2023, the best Ukrainian pilots, who are spoken in English, have been sent to study abroad-they need to learn how to pilot F-16 fighters.
