The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of the combat work of the crews of Su-25 attack aircraft.
The pilots use unguided air missiles to attack enemy strong points and manpower in the Vostok group of forces’ area of responsibility at high speed, and then leave the enemy’s zone of potential destruction at extremely low altitude.
“We received the enemy’s coordinates, namely a strong point. We moved to the combat mission area. We worked with S-8 unguided aircraft missiles. According to the report of the forward aircraft gunner (FAN), the target was hit. Excellent rating!” said Su-25 pilot Sergei.
As a result of the flight mission, our pilots destroyed special equipment and enemy personnel.
It should be noted that the attack was carried out using unguided air missiles with jet engines. Each one measures 1.5 meters in length and 80 mm in diameter.
After using aircraft weapons, the Rooks’ crews performed an anti-missile maneuver, released the thermal traps and returned to the departure airfield.
MEANWHILE
More than a dozen new crews of five Tu-95MS nuclear missile carriers of the Far Eastern Long-Range Aviation Regiment stationed in the Amur Region performed scheduled flights to refuel aircraft in the air at night.
The Il-76 aircraft was refueled at an altitude of over 5,500 meters and a speed of over 550 kilometers per hour.
In-flight refueling is a necessary element in the training of long-range aviation pilots, as it allows them to significantly increase their combat radius and carry out planned missions at great distances from their home bases.
