He was the chief of "DPR" air defense.

A traitor from Donetsk, Dmitriy Tskhe, call sign "Koreyets", has been liquidated in Ukraine's war. He was a "colonel" of the occupation army, the so-called chief of the Donetsk people's republic's air defence, Glavred has reported.

Former "DPR" militant leader Igor Girkin dedicated an obituary to Tskhe, calling him "one of the best and most steadfast" invaders. This was reported on Twitter by the blogger Necro Mancer.

Dmitriy Tskhe was born in 1976 in the village of Chagan in Semipalatinsk Region of Kazakhstan. The occupant lived at 146 Leninsky Avenue in Donetsk.

In 2017, he was included in the "Peacekeeper" database as a militant of illegal armed groups - "deputy head of the air defence department" of the so-called command of the "DPR" First Army Corps.

Tskhe was liquidated on August 12. Girkin said Tskhe had fought under his leadership in Sloviansk in 2014.

"He headed the most effective mobile air defence group, which destroyed at least three of the seven AFU helicopters shot down near the town. After Groza left - already in Donetsk - he commanded all our MANPAD groups," the terrorist wrote.
