Ukraine damages Russian fighter jet and captures oil rigs near Crimea
Ukraine recaptured a cluster of oil rigs off the coast of Crimea from Russia. The platforms were used for spying with radar and to launch helicopters. Dozens of special forces soldiers used fast attack boats to re-take the rigs. And even managed to damage a Russian fighter jet in the process. Kyiv’s main intelligence directorate released footage of the operation. It played out over several days, as soldiers first seized radar equipment. They then captured supplies including helicopter rocket ammunition. But at one point they were spotted by a Russian SU-30 fighter jet. Despite being armed with just machine-guns, they attacked the jet. And they claim to have damaged it, forcing it to return to base. Crimea is the crown jewel of Putin’s wars in Ukraine. It has been occupied since 2014, and Kyiv wants to take it back. Invading the peninsula will be extremely difficult. So Ukraine is trying to cut off Russian supply routes to force troops out. Taking back the oil rigs helps pile extra pressure on Putin’s soldiers.
