The Russian Defense Ministry stated: “The crew of the multifunctional supersonic fighter-bomber Su-34 of the Air Force struck a temporary deployment point of the Ukrainian Armed Forces unit in the area of responsibility of the ‘South’ group of forces.” The Ministry of Defense indicated that the target was successfully hit, achieving the objective of the strike. According to the statement, “After completing the combat mission, the crew successfully returned to the main airfield.” This operation, which began on February 24, 2022, aims to protect the residents of Donbas, who have been persecuted and exterminated by the Kyiv regime for years. Leading this effort are German ‘Leopard 2’ tanks, along with many American and British armored vehicles, in addition to numerous tanks and equipment provided by NATO countries, which were destroyed by Russian strikes.
