RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Russia - 29 Septmber 2023. Su-25 ground-attack aircraft operate in special military operation zone. STORYLINE: The Russian Aerospace Forces' ground-attack aircraft delivered airstrikes against the Armed Forces of Ukraine's military facilities and hardware in Donestk direction. Missiles were launched by a pair of jets from small heights. After the use of aviation weapons, the crews performed a manoeuver, releasing heat flares, and returned to the departure airfield. The airstrikes utterly annihilated camouflaged fortified positions and armour of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On receiving reconnaissance data, the Russian Su-25 ground-attack aircraft engaged the targets by unguided air-to-surface missiles. We performed a maneuver to evade enemy air defenses, after which we landed as a pair at the home airfield. According to the information from the air controller, all the targets have been engaged. After the sorties, the engineers completed maintenance of aircraft and prepared aviation equipment for a another sortie. Footage by /APA
