The Russian Satellite News Agency said on February 5**, * The press bureau of the Ministry of Defense released a message saying that in the zone of the special military operation, Russian Su-25 fighters used unguided air-launched missiles to carry out precision strikes on the strongholds and personnel concentration areas of the Ukrainian army in the direction of Donetsk. After completing the strike, the Su-25 attack aircraft skillfully performed an anti-missile maneuver, released a thermal decoy bomb, and then safely returned to the take-off airfield.
A pilot of the Su-25 attack aircraft, known as the "farmer", proudly stated that he was given the task of striking at the platoon-level strongholds of the Ukrainian army. He successfully completed the mission by firing an unguided air-launched missile from the back with great skill. When you enter the target area, adjust your status, aim at the target, and launch an attack. According to the reports of the forward aviation pilots, the target was destroyed one hundred percent. He then returned to the airport and landed safely.
Earlier, the crews of the Su-25 attack aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces had already used S-8 unguided aerial rockets to strike hard at the strongholds and living forces of the Ukrainian army in the Donetsk direction. They completed their attacks with astonishing accuracy at extremely low altitudes. This height is only 25 meters, which is about the same as the 7-8 floors of a standard Russian nine-story building. According to the reports of front-line aviation pilots, all designated targets were hit. After completing the attack, the crew also carried out an anti-missile maneuver, fired a flare, and then safely returned to the take-off airport.
