Verbatim:  "A group of tactical units consisting of SU-24m bombers, SU-25 attack aircraft and Mi-24 helicopters of the Army Air Force made up to 10 raids on columns of enemy military machines on 11 March, making powerful missile and bomb strikes on Ruski armoured vehicles and personnel."

"This day will be remembered for the audacious provocation of the Russian fascists, who fired at peaceful Belarusian villages from the territory of Ukraine in order to accuse and frame the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The goal is obvious!"

Details: The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using fighter aircraft SU-27 and MiG-29 aircraft conducted up to 10 air battles in several directions and returned without losses despite a significant numerical advantage of the aggressor.

Nine medium-range and short-range air-to-air missiles were fired at the aggressor's aircraft.

Anti-aircraft missile units Buk-M1 and S-300 hit five air targets: an unmanned aerial vehicle "Forpost" ("Outpost"- ed.) and four helicopters of the occupying forces. This information is being verified.

The air defence of the operational command "Pivnich" ("North") reported downing a Russian SU-34 fighter-bomber in the Chernihiv region.
