The Ukrainian Air Force has made use of its fleet of Su-25 warplanes in the War in Donbass, using them for strike missions against pro-Russian separatists, and at times Russian government forces. During the First Battle of Donetsk Airport, Su-25s were witnessed partaking in ground attack missions, at times firing unguided rockets at separatist positions. During fighting at Kramatorsk Airport, Su-25s were used to deliver supplies to besieged Ukrainian troops, flying at a low altitude and parachuting provisions. A rocket and strafing attack on a regional administration building in Luhansk was purportedly carried out by a Ukrainian Su-25 aircraft. During the Battle of Debaltseve in 2015, Russian Air Force Su-25s participated in the route of Ukrainian troops and the subsequent capture of the city. After the shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014, the Russian military cited the appearance of a Ukrainian Su-25 on its radar in the vicinity of the airliner as evidence that the Ukrainian military were the culprits behind the shootdown.
