Russia attacks Snake Island. British analysis

British military intelligence has analyzed the shooting down of a Russian Su-24M bomber near Snake Island by Ukrainian air force anti-aircraft fire. It was shot down during a rocket bomb attack on southern Odessa Oblast. The British Ministry of Defense reports that Russia will carry out high-risk air missions near the island from the summer of 2023. probably because this place has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance and Russia is trying to show its strength in the Black Sea. Snake Island is located in Ukrainian territorial waters. It is located 35 km east of the Danube Delta.

British intelligence indicates that the two-man crew of the Su-24M bomber shot down by Ukraine is likely dead, and that the location and operational conditions greatly complicate the Russian search and rescue mission.

“Both sides continue to suffer regular losses in combat aircraft engagements. Overall, air defenses continue to severely limit the effectiveness of tactical air operations,” the UK Ministry of Defense said.

On the evening of December 5, Ukrainian Air Force soldiers destroyed a Russian Su-24M bomber near the island, which was attempting to launch a rocket bomb attack on southern Odessa Oblast.
