The video purportedly shows Russian units demolishing Ukrainian military targets in a specialised operation with a 'Su-25' attack aircraft.

Russian Aerospace Forces reportedly carried out several strikes on Ukrainian strongholds and troops in the area of Lyman, in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, on February 22.

They used subsonic, single-seat, twin-engine Sukhoi 'Su-25 Grach' jet aircraft in the alleged attack.

Russia's Ministry of Defence said in a statement: 'The pilots used unguided aviation rockets S-13. Launches were made with a pitch at extremely low altitudes.

'According to the report of the forward aviation spotter, all specified targets were successfully hit.

'After completing the combat mission, the crews performed an anti-missile manoeuvre, deploying false thermal targets, and returned safely to the base aerodrome. The flight proceeded in normal mode.'

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, in what the Kremlin is still calling a 'special military operation'.
