“Photo of Natasha Perokov, the Ukraine’s first female fighter pilot who died during the war with Russia”
What FACTLY found
Neither the Ukrainian military nor the Ukrainian authorities have mentioned anything about the death of a female pilot during the ongoing war with Russia. Ukraine’s first female combat pilot was Nadiya Savchenko and she is still alive. While the video shared in the post shows a female pilot demonstrating the operation of Air Combat Command F-35A Lightning, the photo shows a model dressed in a fake military outfit.
