Strike on Belgorod.

[FrancoisX5]

Trying to re-iterate the strike on the oil terminals East of Belgorod.
Not too many information available though. I can understand the Ukrainians denying the fact as not to escalate.

The helicopters probably left from somewhere south of Kharkiv flying very low over the lakes and rivers to the border, I would cross the border just west of the village of Strilechathen and quickly head for the Siversky Donets river heading north, and fly through the industrial area to the target.

I suspect that they got intel from the West about the location of SAM batteries and radars locations, and probably about a temporary gap in the coverage from Mainstays flying over the region.
This is all well within the range of the Hind.
