Russian Su-25 crew shows class when attacking Ukrainian armed forces at an altitude of 25 meters
The crew of the Russian Su-25 attack aircraft demonstrated their high level of skill by performing complex aerobatic maneuvers at extremely low altitude during a missile attack on Ukrainian positions in the Krasny Liman direction.
According to the description, the plane launched a series of unguided S-8 missiles at the Ukrainian troops from a gently sloping nose-up position and then returned with a complex aerobatic maneuver. With this maneuver, the plane would flip “on its belly” and perform a 180-degree return maneuver when landing.
Performing such a maneuver at extremely low altitude is especially difficult, but it allows the aircraft to quickly escape fire from enemy air defense missile systems.
As the Defense Ministry stated, the Su-25 carried out the attack on the Ukrainian armed forces from a height of only 25 meters, which is approximately equivalent to the height of a standard 9-story building.
"According to the report of the forward target guidance unit, all designated targets were destroyed. The flight proceeded as planned," the ministry said.
The Su-25 pilot recounted, “when approaching the attack area, the aircraft continued to launch unguided missiles and when exiting, flew lower than the lower limit of the enemy air defense system's target destruction zone.”
