The crews of Su-25SM attack aircraft from the Centre group of forces carried out strikes on a strong point and areas of concentration of manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Krasny Liman direction. Fulfilling the conditions of the flight mission at extremely low altitudes, no more than 25-30 metres, skirting the terrain, the strike group of fighter-attack aircraft approached the target within weapons range. After aiming at the target, the pilots performed a pitching technique, accompanied by a sharp climb with the nose of the aircraft raised above the horizon and launching 122-mm unguided S-13 missiles at a strong point and an area where enemy personnel and equipment were concentrated.

After returning to the temporary airfield, the combat vehicles undergo thorough training and maintenance by the technical staff of the airfield support for subsequent combat missions.

Air support by attack aircraft for units of the Centre group allows military personnel on the ground to successfully carry out assigned combat missions to maintain the lines and strongholds entrusted to them on the front line
