Smith (08/21/2007 issue of the CACI Analyst) At 1831 on August 6, 2007, a Russian Su-24M fighter streaked into Georgian airspace above the town of Khazbegi. Three radars—military and civilian—tracked it to Tsitelubani, where it turned, released a Kh-58 anti-radar missile and hightailed back to Russia.

On Monday night two mystery Sukhoi bombers fired a missile that landed in a field in South Ossetia. Quite whose column of tanks, helicopter gunships, and Sukhoi bombers are involved has become a matter of bitter dispute. Georgia yesterday accused Russia of an "undisguised aggression" and produced parts of the one tonne missile, which did not explode, in evidence. Russia flatly denied involvement, saying that a number of countries had Sukhoi bombers, including Georgia itself. Russia's presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that no Russian planes had violated Georgian airspace. Both sides claimed the strike was a provocative act, aimed at disrupting ... >> full
