Juice (pilot)
Juice is the call sign of a prominent Ukrainian fighter pilot flying Mikoyan MiG-29s during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1] 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.[2][3] Juice is mentioned as an authoritative reference on challenges faced by the Ukrainian Air Force[4] and the need to supply F-16 fighters to Ukraine.[5] In June 2022, Juice visited the US with another Ukrainian pilot, call sign Moonfish, to lobby for F-16s for Ukraine.[6] Sean Penn joined Juice and Moonfish to help their lobbying efforts.[3] The pilots met with US lawmakers to discuss modern weapons systems needed in Ukraine.[1]
