MOSCOW, September 4. /TASS/. The crews of Russian Su-25 attack aircraft delivered strikes at massed Ukrainian troops, armor and motor vehicles in the borderline Kursk Region, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday.

"The strike was delivered by air-launched missiles at reconnoitered targets. After employing air-launched munitions, the crews performed a missile evasion maneuver, fired decoy flares and returned to their airfield. Reconnaissance reports said that all the designated targets had been destroyed," the ministry said in a statement.

The crews performed an anti-missile maneuver, released heat decoys and returned to base, the ministry added.
