One aspect of this war is that Moscow has generally been trying to keep it hidden from the Russian public. They not only sought a quick & easy victory, but hoped to suppress news about the fighting, keeping images of mil operations across Ukraine out of the public eye. - Michael Kofman

Status-6 (War & Military News)
RT @armyinformcomua: April Fools’ Day, 2022: when Ukraine pranked Russia’s air defence — with real explosions.

In the early hours of 1 April 2022, as Russia’s full-scale invasion entered its second month, Ukrainian forces carried out one of the war’s most unexpected operations.

Four helicopters crossed the border into Russia.

They were not detected.

The strike involved two Mi-24 attack helicopters and two Mi-8 transport helicopters, flying at extremely low altitude to evade radar.

On board were not only pilots, but also operatives from Ukraine’s military intelligence agency @DI_Ukraine, including members of the special unit known as “Shaman Battalion.”

They were tasked with:
— covering the helicopters on the ground
— engaging enemy air defence if needed
— preparing for potential evacuation inside Russian territory

The risk was understood to be high. At the time, Ukrainian helicopter crews were already sustaining losses in missions to besieged Mariupol.

The target was a Rosneft fuel depot in Belgorod, close to the Ukrainian border.

At around 05:00, the helicopters launched unguided rockets, hitting at least eight fuel tanks, each holding roughly 2,000 cubic metres.

A large fire followed. Russian emergency services deployed significant resources, and local evacuations were reported.

One detail stands out in these recollections.

During the operation, intelligence operatives reported spotting Russian TOR air defence systems — and opening fire on them from the air.

In effect, a system designed to stop such attacks was caught unprepared, in daylight, under direct fire.

Ukraine did not immediately confirm its role.

At the time, strategic ambiguity was part of the playbook.

But the message was clear.

The raid demonstrated three things early in the war:

— Russia’s border regions were vulnerable
— its air defence coverage was inconsistent
— Ukraine could plan and execute deep, coordinated strikes beyond the frontline

It also highlighted the integration of aviation and intelligence units, with HUR operatives embedded directly into combat missions.

Four years on, the methods have evolved.

Helicopter raids have largely given way to long-range drones and precision strikes.

But the logic remains the same.

The idea that distance equals safety —
once tested on April Fools’ Day —
has since been repeatedly disproven.

What looked, at first glance, like a daring one-off operation
now reads more like an early preview of a wider campaign.
