Ukrainian aviation joins operation in Kursk region - Forbes
For the first time, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has attacked Russian positions in the Kursk region from a fighter jet.
This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Forbes.
It is noted that a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet attacked a Russian command post in the village of Tiotkino, a few kilometers north of the front line. It is noteworthy that the attack was carried out by a Soviet fighter jet, not the F-16s that Ukraine recently received.
The publication notes that on Tuesday, the first videos of Ukrainian planes dropping American JDAM bombs on targets in the Kursk region appeared. According to Forbes, the Ukrainian military has deployed a "significant number" of air defense batteries, as well as electronic jamming equipment that can block radio signals and, in some cases, even drop satellite-guided bombs.
"With significant assistance from drones with explosive devices, Ukrainian batteries shot down several Russian helicopters. In return, Russian artillery damaged one Ukrainian Buk anti-aircraft missile system," the newspaper notes.
