On foot on Russian soil: Ukrainian armed forces on a secret mission
Led by Colonel Oleg Babii, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' scouts had an important task: to stop air strikes on peaceful Ukrainian cities.
They traveled on foot and covered more than 600 kilometers in Russia.
With the result of the destroyed TU-22M3 fighter jets, they had successfully completed their task, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
The destruction of military aircraft plays into Ukraine's hands, as these types of aircraft are often used by the Russian army to launch attacks against Ukrainian cities, reports

.
In NATO member states, the nuclear-capable supersonic bomber is known by the code Backfire.
The machine can carry up to 24 tons of weapons.
“The successfully completed task significantly thwarted the plans of the Russian military-political leadership to launch missile attacks on the territory of Ukraine and actually completely destabilized the operation from airfields and long-range air bases,” reads the statement from the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.

Ukrainian scout Oleg Babii – a hero of his homeland
On the way back from the secret mission, the troops were ambushed by the Russian armed forces.
“She fought an unequal battle with the Russian invaders.
During this battle on August 30, 2023, Ukrainian reconnaissance officer Colonel Oleg Babii was fatally wounded,” Ukraine’s state website said.
Now the former scout is celebrated as a hero of Ukraine, because the successful secret mission in August was not his only achievement in the Ukrainian war.
According to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Babii is said to have been involved in nine secret missions in Russia and twelve operations on Russian-occupied Ukrainian land.
For this reason, the fallen soldier is given a place of honor in the “Gallery of Heroes” - a page created by the Ministry of Defense as a memorial to the fallen soldiers.
