Andrii Borysovych Pilshchykov (Template:Lang-uk; 3 February 1993[3][4] — 25 August 2023) was a Ukrainian fighter pilot with the call sign "Juice", and a Captain[5] in the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade[6] of the Ukrainian Air Force.[7][1][2] He flew Mikoyan MiG-29s during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[8] Pilshchykov was awarded the Order for Courage.

Pilschchykov has been promoted, posthumously, to the rank of Major.[4]

Biography

Born in Kharkiv, Pilshchykov spent his school years at the Gymnasium No. 116 [uk].[4]

As a teenager, Pilshchykov interested in aviation and often visited local airfields.[4][5]

On 24 May 2008, Pilshchykov uploaded his first aircraft spotting photo to Ukrainian Spotter's Site with a comment: “Sorry for quality - there was nothing but a mobile phone at hand:(”.[9] Till 26 September 2020 he contributed 705 photos from all around Ukraine and other countries he visited, and accelerated aircraft spotting movement in Kharkivshyna.[4][10]

He took to the sky for the first time on Lilienthal X-32-912 Bekas ultralight aircraft with a pilot of Ukrainian community organization the "Civil Air Patrol" (Kharkiv).[5][11]

Pilshchykov graduated from Ivan Kozhedub National Air Force University. Being a cadet, he conducted classes and field trips for "Civil Air Patrol".[4]

In 2018, Pilshchykov took part in the international exercise "Clear Sky 2018" [uk] and has been allowed to sit inside the cabin of the USAF's F-15C (tail number "86-0144").[12] At that time, his American friends gave him the call sign "Juice" because he would not drink alcoholic beverages during joint training exercises. For some time, he was the only pilot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with an official call sign.[2][13]

From the beginning of the large-scale Russian invasion, Pilshchykov defended Ukraine's skies. He participated in the air defense of Kyiv and other territories.[2] Since March 2022 Juice gave several live interviews to CNN between sorties, without disclosing his real name, while wearing a helmet or a bandana over his mouth.[14][15]

As of 7 May 2022, Pilshchykov had 500 hours of combat flight time.[16]

On 2 June 2023, together with pilot Vladyslav Savieliev (call sign "Nomad"), two MiG-29s made a successful combat mission in the east, launching HARM missiles.[17]

Aero L-39M1 Albatros, Ukrainian Air Force

Andrii Pilshchykov died on the evening of 25 August 2023 along with two other pilots, Major Viacheslav Minka, and Major Serhii Prokazin,[18] when their two L-39M1 training planes collided in the air [uk] near near Sinhury [uk], Zhytomyr Oblast.[19][6][20][21][22] His death was reported by CNN,[19] and widely covered in Ukrainian media, which published full archive photographs where his face can be seen.[6] On 26 August 2023, in his address, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy mentioned Juice's death.[23]

Advocacy efforts

Pilshchykov was mentioned as an authoritative reference on challenges faced by the Ukrainian Air Force[24][25] and the need to supply F-16 fighters to Ukraine.[26] In interviews with The Washington Post,[27] the Financial Times,[28] CNN,[25][29] Fox News,[30] and the BBC News,[8] he called on Western partners to provide Ukraine with modern fighter jets.

In June 2022, Pilshchykov visited the US with another Ukrainian pilot, call sign Moonfish, to lobby for F-16s for Ukraine.[31] Sean Penn joined Pilshchykov and Moonfish to help their advocacy efforts.[15] The pilots met with US lawmakers to discuss modern weapons systems needed in Ukraine.[1] Juice and Moonfish met with Adam Kinzinger in his office in Washington, D.C.[32] As a result of that meeting, Adam Kinzinger introduced the "Ukraine Fighter Pilots Act" to the United States House of Representatives on 17 June 2022. The bill was cosponsored by Chrissy Houlahan, Ted Lieu, Susan Wild, Tom Malinowski, Abigail Spanberger and Mike Levin.[33][34][35][36]

Ghost of Kyiv

Image shared by Petro Poroshenko on Twitter as a photo of "Ghost of Kyiv".

On 25 February 2022, former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko tweeted an image claiming it as a photo of Ghost of Kyiv.[37][38][39] The photo was later found to be an image from a Ministry of Defence post from 2019.[39]

On 2 March 2022, Military.com stated that the "Ghost of Kyiv" was "almost certainly a myth, albeit an incredibly useful one as Ukraine tries to rally its citizens to resist Russian conquest".[40]

На фото – пілот МіГ-29. Той самий «Привид Києва».

Він викликає жах у ворогів та гордість в українців 🇺🇦

На його рахунку 6 перемог над російськими пілотами!

З такими потужними захисниками Україна точно переможе!


On photo — a pilot of MiG-29. The same "Ghost of Kyiv".

He causes terror in enemies and pride in Ukrainians 🇺🇦

He has 6 victories over Russian pilots!

With such powerful defenders, Ukraine will definitely win!

25 Feb 2022[41]

On 29 April 2022, after Ukrainian fighter pilot Stepan Tarabalka died in action, The Times falsely claimed that Tarabalka was a personality behind "Ghost of Kyiv".[42]

On 30 April 2022, Ukraine's Air Force Command admitted the mythical status of the "Ghost of Kyiv," writing that "The ghost of Kyiv is a superhero-legend, whose character was created by Ukrainians,"[43] and that "the #GhostOfKyiv is alive, it embodies the collective spirit of the highly qualified pilots".[44]

On 27 August 2022, on the Aviation Day [uk] (Ukraine state holiday) Charity Foundation "For My Ukraine" and Ukrainian artist Andrii Kovtun presented mural the "Ghost of Kyiv", which is based on viral photo "Ghost of Kyiv".[45] On 19 May 2023, Pilshchykov tweeted a selfie of himself standing in a front of this mural adding "Waiting for The Ghost Vipers🇺🇦👍".

After Pilshchykov died, his mentor from the "Civil Air Patrol" organization revealed[4] the origin of the "Ghost of Kyiv" myth:

The commanders approved this idea as trolling the Russians, who said they had destroyed all the aviation on the first day of the war. And Andrii, who had such a caustic trolling style, said: “And here we are on the very planes that they destroyed, which are not there – we are fighting them so much. And who are we? Ghosts!”

Its also revealed that it was Pilshchykov on the photo initially posted by Poroshenko as a photo of "Ghost of Kyiv":

It was a photo of Andrii wearing a French helmet taken in 2019 that Ukrainian and foreign media began to publish, claiming that it was the legendary “Ghost of Kyiv.”

Legacy

On 26 August 2023, the Ukrainian Air Force held a piano burning ceremony for Pilshchykov, Minka and Prokazin. Pilots' nicknames and both L-39M1s tail numbers, "102" (for "102 BLUE"[47]) and "107" (for "107 BLUE"[48]), has been painted on a piano.[49][50][51]

On 27 August 2023, the mother[52] and the girlfriend[53] of Pilshchykov announced that the All-Ukrainian Charitable Foundation "Neopalyma Kupyna"[54], which supporting Ukrainian pilots, and which work Andrii has been actively involved to[4], would be renamed in his honor.[55][56]
