Today, an aircraft was shot down in the Konstantinovka area, which, according to sources, is a Su-25 attack aircraft. The incident occurred near Chasov Yar and the first footage of the attack has already fallen into the hands of journalists, causing a wide resonance and discussion among experts.

According to the video footage published in the media, one aircraft pursued the other at close range, after which a missile was launched, which hit the target. The footage of the air battle, which recorded such close contact between the combat aircraft, raised a number of questions among experts, since such close-range air battles are rare in modern military practice.

Experts were particularly interested in the combat technique: the aircraft approached its target at a critically short distance before launching the missile. Usually, combat operations between aircraft take place at long distances, using long-range missiles and guidance systems. However, in this case, for unknown reasons, it was a close air battle, which raises additional questions about the tactics and reasons for such a maneuver.
