Ukrainian "nerve knife" crossed the border to steal vegetables - Russia's first home invasion after World War II

The Russians were proud to say that no one had dared to attack Russian soil since World War II, but the incident was broken on April 1, 2022, April Fool's Day. In the early hours of this morning, a Russian oil production base in Belgrod was attacked and caught fire, and the Russian side did not know where the attack came from.

After figuring out the situation, on the morning of April 1, in the face of the fire that broke out as a result of the attack, the governor of belgorod Region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said that the blows of two Ukrainian helicopters caused a fire at an oil depot in Belgorod. Helicopters used low altitudes to evade the surveillance of the Russian air defense network and enter its airspace, and they took advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack, igniting the oil tank with rockets and causing a skyrocketing fire.

This was the first military attack on Russian soil after World War II. The mayor of Belgorod strongly condemned the attack, and the Russian army urgently stepped up its vigilance.

The attack on the homeland is something that this generation of Russians could not have imagined, and it is not harmful, it is extremely insulting.

What is laughable is that according to the details, the Ukrainian side actually attacked Belgorod with a "nerve knife".

On the pitch, there are some athletes who play up and down, unpredictable, and are jokingly called "nerve knives".

In this air raid, someone photographed the incoming aircraft and saw them successfully launch rockets and turn away.

The helicopter captured in the video is leaving the attack site.

People almost couldn't help but wipe their eyes – what they saw were two Mi-24 helicopter gunships.

Ukraine's Mi-24 was modernized in 2007, but... The old man who ate ginseng is still an old man.

First flown in 1969 and finalized in 1971, the Mi-24 helicopter is an old aircraft with a white beard, and still has such a strong penetration capability that it achieved the first military strike on the Russian mainland after World War II, which is incredible. It is impossible to use old weapons to sometimes achieve good results, but tracing back in history, the Mi-24, code-named "Doe", is a strange weapon, and in its heyday, it often played the "nerve knife" on the battlefield. For example, it fought iran's U.S.-made AH-1 Cobra helicopter in the Iran-Iraq War for the first helicopter air battle in human history.

Mi-24 "doe" and AH-1 "Cobra" (right), a pair of joyful rivals.

As a result, the larger and newer Mi-24 was knocked down by the AH-1 and the driver was captured alive. Since then, the Mi-24 has been shot down by the "cobra" one after another, and its reputation has plummeted.

Soon after, it successfully shot down an Iranian Air Force's excellent second-generation jet fighter F-4 Phantom with anti-tank missiles in a single battle.

F-4 Phantom fighter.

This is the world's first example of helicopter fighting a fighter jet. Seemingly encouraged, the "doe" encountered the "cobra" again and won consecutive victories, and by the end of the war, they scored a good result of 10:6, losing 4 more.

Similarly, in the Afghan theater, it was originally put into the battlefield as an ace weapon against the guerrillas, but it was unable to fully play due to mountain influences, and was repeatedly shot down by explosions, and even destroyed four on the runway in one go during the guerrilla attack on Bagram Air Base. But the remaining Mi-24s took off, causing so much damage to the guerrillas that Soviet airfields demanded 24-hour air patrols a day.

The Taliban also had Mi-24s captured from government forces.

The performance of the up and down, "nerve knife" can be described as deserved, which is related to its own design. The Mi-24 has two engines, can play 30 meters in the air, equipped with a wide range of weapons, fast flight speed, almost all advantages. But its avionics equipment was backward and relied heavily on the pilot's technology. So good pilots often make it appear mighty, and rookies can't play at all.

The day before the attack on Belgorod, the Russians also shot down a Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopter, indicating that they were not incapable of dealing with such aircraft. This surprise attack from Ukraine should have sent experienced pilots (to this point, the basic skills of the pilots who are still alive on the Ukrainian side are very good), taking advantage of the paralysis that the Russian army believes that it has air supremacy and does not believe that the Ukrainian army will launch an attack on its homeland, and launched a surprise attack.

It is flying at ultra-low altitude, russian fighters are not easy to find it, found that because of the large difference in speed, it is not easy to fight this kind of aircraft that will hover in the air or even float. Perhaps this is why it was able to break through the Russian air defense network and achieve a surprise attack.

But then again, the losses caused by this sneak attack to Russia were not large, the battle site was only 30 kilometers away from the Russian-Ukrainian border, but the impact was extremely great, and soon some people thought that it was only 500 kilometers away from Moscow, and the Mi-24 helicopter had a range of more than 500 kilometers. So, if the Ukrainians made a suicide raid, it might not be impossible to add an air defense experience to Moscow.

At that time, the young Rust of the Federal Republic of Germany also flew a small plane, broke through the Layers of Soviet air defense networks, and landed on Moscow's Red Square.

Of course, he was a peaceful move, but it also reflected that Russia's air defense was not as impenetrable as he thought. Now, the "nerve knife" has undoubtedly come to an extraordinary play, and the Mi-24 has broken the latest record for air raids on Russian soil in a much more violent way than Rust. Its advantages of long range, fierce firepower and fast speed are fully exerted.

So, what kind of impact will this kind of stabbing-butt attack have on Russia?

It is ironic that some argue that this may shake the will to war on the Russian side, and that a special military operation that was supposed to be carried out in Ukraine has been brought back to its own territory.

If you think so, you don't know the Russians. Russians are characterized by self-criticism of each other, but if they are criticized by the outside world, it is easy to think of themselves as attacks and targets. This is still the case with criticism, and the attitude towards attacks can be imagined.

If this attack is fermented in public opinion, Russia's anti-war forces will be greatly ostracized, and the concept of preventing Ukraine from entering NATO and launching special military operations will be supported and understood by more people. They really realize how dangerous it would be if nato forces were just outside the border. If there is an enemy base at such a close distance, the Russian mainland is certainly not safe. In this way, the situation in Russia and Ukraine, which was already gradually stabilizing, may also be sidelined.

This time CNN was sincere, using the headline "Ukraine's reckless actions may be the worst nightmare for Biden."

It's certainly not a good idea to provoke a bear in this way, and I don't know if Biden will think of the three words "pig teammate".

It is certain that Russia will not ignore this matter, and as for what kind of counterattack will occur and the changes in the battlefield after that, it will depend on the development of the situation. In any case, russia's air defense forces will definitely be impacted this time, and it is always impossible to let the people always have an air defense Internet café like a colander on their heads, and someone must always be responsible for and improve this matter.
