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.

75 days in and Putin’s horde hasn’t established air superiority over a much, much weaker for.
We all overestimated the ability of Putin’s horde
There aren’t any American troops in Ukraine.
It would be good if Russian soldiers also had signs that they would stay out of Ukraine
He tells everyone to hush. Yet we still keep posting!
That is a picture of your latest kid? He takes after you. The resemblance is truly remarkable!
Your wife
Is it just me, or are most of those opposing Ukraine/supporting Russia have absolutely no idea what they are talking about and are going out of the way to revel in it anyways?
Yes, a hypocrite is someone who says American troops aren’t allowed in Ukraine to help the Ukrainians, but that person supports Russian troops bring in Ukraine.
Do you support Russian troops in Ukraine?
Sadly I agree ... good thing she lives 2000 mile away.
Yes.
All over the place. And it wouldn’t be NATO backed, just the said countries sending in volunteers under the Ukrainian flag with their equipment.
C. The truth.

You do realize that Ukraine was invaded, don't you?
Do you realize how stupid you look…
…when you call people cheering on defenders…
"war pigs"?!?
Of course you don't. You can't. It takes some functioning brain cells to have self-reflection, and your few remaining ones apparently are drowning in vodka.
🤫 Neocon.
My current theory:
Please explain.
You Putin-lovers did the impossible:
you made the corrupt Ukraine sympathetic to reasonable people.
And all so you could cheer on the even more corrupt Putin & cronies.
You deserve all the scorn you're getting.
And it wouldn’t be NATO backed, just the said countries sending in volunteers under the Ukrainian flag with their equipment.

That would last about 30 seconds after the units crossed into Ukraine and the war would be on.
There are already hundreds of international volunteers fighting with the UA - they get the same pay as UA troops get, often having to buy their own stuff.
I posted the list that the Orcs released last month. Many countries ...
