Since the beginning of the special military operation, Russian jets have ruled the skies, instilling fear in Ukrainian soldiers.
Russian Su-25 fighter jets bombed Ukrainian outposts at an extremely low altitude of 25 meters, the MoD reported. The jets descended to the height of an 8-storey building. According to the statement, all targets were hit.
"The crews of the Su-25 of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed outposts and enemy personnel in the direction of Donetsk. The attack was carried out with S-8 unguided artillery missiles. The attack was carried out in pitch-up at an extremely low altitude of 25 meters," the ministry specified.
After the attack, the pilots conducted anti-missile maneuvers, fired false heat targets to confuse enemy air defenses, and returned safely to base.
The Su-25 attack aircraft, known in Russia as the Gratch (lit. "Rook"), is designed to provide close air support to Russian ground forces.
