Su-35 fighter jets took to the sky and bombed Ukrainian targets before returning to base, according to Russian military officials.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said crews of the Su-35S fighter jets from the Western Military District of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed viral"military infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the special military operation."
Russian crews, flying day and night in all weather, look to destroy Ukrainian radar stations and air defense systems with guided high-precision missiles. The Su-35S is designed to gain air supremacy by destroying manned and unmanned aerial vehicles with guided missiles at long, medium and short ranges, while conducting long-range and short-range combat maneuvers.
Russian troops invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin is still calling a"special military operation." Monday marks the 89th day of the campaign.
