It's Jason freaking Bourne:

LOL.

Look at the featured photos.

He's holding a shotgun!

Yes, I too regularly shoot down supersonic fighter jets with the ol' 12 gauge I keep in the closet.

A Ukrainian pensioner shot down a Russian Su-34 jet with a rifle, sending it spiralling to the ground, a government agency has said.

Valeriy Fedorovych opened fire when the enemy aircraft flew overhead in Chernhiv, according to the State Border Service of Ukraine.

It is claimed he picked off the jet, which costs an estimated ยฃ74million, and footage circulating at the time showed it careening back down to earth, although he was not seen in the video.

Here's the video:

You don't get a clear view of the gun, but whatever boomstick he's got over his shoulder here has a different-colored sling than the shotty in the header photos:

So this guy might have a rifle with a wooden stock that we never clearly see, he wasn't in the video of the jet going down, we never see the jet actually crash, and the video is blurry and from a distance, meaning we can't even confirm what kind of plane it was or which nation owned it.

Mmk.

He retrieved some of the debris of the 'exploded' jet and keeps it in his garage.

I don't want Russia to destroy Ukraine and I feel for this man who lives in the middle of a war zone, but goodness I think Zelensky needs to work on his propaganda between photo shoots with magazines and visits with Hollywood celebs.

Heck, even James Bond needed to blow up a whole house at close range to down a helicopter:

That being said, you know what?

If this boomer actually did pick off a fighter jet using a bolt-action rifle from his porch at long range, it completely debunks Joe Biden's claim that American citizens would need F-15s to overthrown a tyrannical government!
