Russia began its operation to attack Ukraine's infrastructure on the 10th, and during this period, it used cruise missile and suicide drones to launch air strikes. While Russia was attacking Ukrainian power system, the Russian army was also advancing on the eastern front line of Ukraine, and for this purpose, it used fighter to provide cover for ground troops. Ukrainian media released a video showing Russian Su-25 attack aircraft pilots fighting. Judging from the video, the Russian army kicked the iron plate again because the Su-25 attack aircraft was hit by a shoulder-mounted air defense missile, so the pilot had to parachute decisively. The video shows that Russian Air Force Su-25 attack aircraft performed an ultra-low-altitude mission, but was still trapped by the Ukrainian army.
During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian Air Force often used fighter jets to perform ultra-low-altitude bombing missions, which turned the Russian Air Force into an air artillery, thereby providing support to ground forces. Both Russian Air Force fighters and attack aircraft are equipped with ordinary aviation bombs , which strikes the Ukrainian army's targets. Since Ukraine is a large-scale plain, even if the Russian Air Force fighters fly ultra-low altitude, they can be visually observed at a long distance, which provides an opportunity for shoulder-mounted air defense missiles. Therefore, the Ukrainian army set up an ambush and waits for the Russian Air Force fighters to enter the trap.
At the moment when Ukrainian air defense missiles hit the Su-25 attack aircraft, the Russian Air Force pilot decisively ejected and escaped. Through the video, it can be seen that the Russian pilot quickly fell back to the ground, indicating that the flight altitude of the Su-25 attack aircraft is very low, so it is full of dangers. Judging from videos of Russian Air Force pilots released by Ukraine, the Su-25 attack aircraft pilot may have been captured because the video was taken from a camera on the helmet. 202210279/Global Defense Observation/Ali, Russian Su-25 attack aircraft entered an area controlled by the Ukrainian army to launch a raid, and finally kicked the iron plate. In this way, the Russian pilot did not have a long memory and insisted on carrying out the tactic of ultra-low altitude penetration.
In fact, the Ukrainian army obtained the shooting height of the shoulder-mounted air defense missiles is below 5,000 meters. Therefore, if the Russian Air Force fighter jets and attack aircraft fly at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, they can avoid being hit by shoulder-mounted air defense missiles. However, judging from many videos released by Ukraine, the Russian Air Force still adheres to its inherent strike mode, which gives Ukrainian shoulder-mounted air defense missiles many opportunities. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ukraine provided a large number of shoulder-mounted air defense missiles to the west, including the Sprig air defense missiles provided by the United States. Ukraine is not stingy with shoulder-mounted air defense missiles, thus achieving a lot of results.
During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia lost many fighter jets. In addition to the Su-25 attack aircraft, there were also fighter jets such as Su-35, Su-30SM and Su-34, most of which were shot down by shoulder-mounted air defense missiles. Therefore, the Russian Air Force suffered heavy losses. The speed of the Su-34 fighter jet has exceeded the speed of construction. According to public data, the Su-34 fighter jet lost 10% of its scale. The Russian Air Force Su-25 attack aircraft's ultra-low altitude penetration exposed Russia's tactical problems. In the face of Ukraine's shoulder-mounted air defense missiles, the Su-25 attack aircraft has a fate of being crushed. Ukraine sets up a trap and can easily hunt Su-25 and other fighter jets.
