An absolutely stunning video appeared on social networks, showing that the Russian troops sent Su-34 attack aircraft against the military, which carried out a raid in the Belgorod region on the border with Ukraine, but they did not hit the target, reports The Drive.

The footage shows Russian warplanes flying at very low altitudes to drop their bombs, the fact that they do not appear to have hit their target highlights how difficult it is to use unguided munitions at such altitudes in combat.

But it also shows the desperate measures taken by Moscow’s armed forces to counter the armed incursion into the country, as it caused panic in the Belgorod region and appeared to catch the few troops stationed here on the Ukrainian border by surprise.

The invasion took place far from the epicenter of hostilities in Donbas, approximately 160 km from the front line in the north of the Kharkiv region.

According to independent geolocators, the footage shows that Su-34 fighter jets carried out this attack on the Graivoron border crossing, located approximately 9.6 kilometers inside Russia. The governor of the region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said on Monday that the majority of residents of the Graivoron district and the town of Omonin have left their homes.

“Now we go door to door in the border villages and [orașul] Greyraven Most of the population left the territory. Those who don’t [transport] that is, we help them with our own transport, those who have the money leave [așezările] by personal transport,” he said on Monday evening.

Russia sent a high-ranking general to command the repulse of several partisans

Fighting erupted along the Russian-Ukrainian border after forces calling themselves Russian guerrillas launched a cross-border attack early Monday, pushing almost unimpeded tens of kilometers into Russia.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced the rejection of the invasion only on Tuesday afternoon, saying that “more than 70 Ukrainian terrorists have been eliminated.” The Russian army sent here General Alexander Lapin, former commander of the Central Military District, to monitor defense operations.

Lapin commanded one of the most important military districts responsible for the invasion of Ukraine until early last November, when he was replaced by Vladimir Putin.

Last summer, Vladimir Putin awarded Lapin the title of Hero of Russia for his role in the capture of Lischansk, the last major city in the Luhansk region still in Ukrainian hands.

Russians fighting on the side of Ukraine rejoice after the raid

The raid was carried out by two anti-Putin Russian groups supported by Ukraine.

The founder of one of these groups, Denys Kapustin of the Russian Volunteer Corps, addressed reporters in northern Ukraine near the Russian border on Wednesday, assuring that the success of entering Russia and returning to Ukraine can be considered a success.

He says that they could conquer the entire Belgorod region, but that was not the goal of the campaign. According to him, this type of invasion forces the Russian military to redeploy “a large number” of forces, thus weakening other sections of the border and the front.

A spokesman for the other group that claimed responsibility for the raid, “Caesar” of the Russian Legion of Freedom, called the operation “unbelievable” as he posed in front of the armored vehicle, which he assured was a “trophy” captured by Russian forces. .
