Incredible footage captures the moment two Ukrainian fighter jets bombed the Russian-occupied Snake Island.
Footage released on Saturday shows Ukrainian Air Force Su-27 Flankers striking facilities during a high speed bombing of Snake Island, which was seized by Russian forces earlier this year.
A Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 drone captured two Su-27s flying low over the island from the south, before dropping multiple bombs and infrared countermeasure flares, TheDrive.com reported.
The southern approach to the island was a strategic measure from Ukrainian forces because Russian defenders on the island would most likely be focused on looking north and west toward the Ukrainian coastline, according to The Drive.
The daring raid appeared to strike direct hits to the island’s main complex and buildings above the pier.
After the initial strikes there appear to be at least two major secondary explosions, which could mean the bombs struck an ammunition or fuel stage area, The Drive reported.
The bold attack comes after Ukraine claimed a TB2 drone destroyed Russian landing ship on the island.
On Saturday Ukraine showed a video claiming to be a military drone hit on a Russian landing ship supplying a TOR anti-aircraft missile system to Snake Island.
The footage appears to show the destruction of a large Serna-type landing craft in an air strike.
'Enemy units remaining on Snake Island remain without air cover and will be destroyed and burned out like cockroaches or locusts,' said Ukrainian official Anton Gerashchenko.

Look at the damn video Ivan!!!!
Did that limey say you were wrong about the combat radius? I’m not wasting 45 minutes to find out.
Nope, he is demolishing your narrative.
My narrative? That the Mi-8M has plenty of combat radius to reach snake island from Russian positions?
The motto of the Young Putineers:
“Don’t believe anything you see on the Internet unless it is favorable to the Russians.”
“These guys were sinking Admiral Makarov yesterday, except it is intact at peer”
It’s as intact as the Moskva.

“The Russian Navy claims..”
The also claimed the Moskva wasn’t hit by a missile.
Russians make a lot of claims. Every single one is a lie.
Every single one.

One of your commie buddies in a fake uniform, I take it?
Also expect the Poles, Czechs, and Baltics to send in a large expeditionary force under the Ukrainian flag to oppose Russia directly

So NATO is going to get involved? That will surely start a world war.
Speculation or inside information? Which?
LOL. Is it irony or sarcasm?
Orc VKS changing tactics because the UA has many more anti-air missiles: troops saturated with them, so VKS support going down fast. VKS/VVS helicopters are lobbing unguided missiles as far as they can to avoid anti-air missiles, so there are very poor results. Same with aircraft. Waning efforts.
However, if UA launches offensive, Orcs will do what they must - even if means heavy losses of aircraft and helicopters.
The Russian Navy claims it downed three Mi-8s, two fighter jets, and sank one landing ship in the incident. So it is likely a Ukrainian propaganda trying to turn things upside down as usual.
You hush, Neocon swine.
