The Ukrainian Air Force has noted that after significant losses in aircraft, the Russians have significantly reduced the number of strikes with aerial guided bombs. In addition, Ukrainian defenders have not seen an A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft near the Ukrainian border for more than a week.

Quote: "Almost every day, anti-aircraft missile units of the Air Force hunt down Russian fighter jets.

Just yesterday, we fired at enemy aircraft at a distance of over 150 kilometres. We are working today as well! We are checking the results of our combat work!

Yes, the enemy continues to attack our positions with guided bombs, but they no longer dare to fly too close."

Details: Oleshchuk said that after significant losses – A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft and Su-34/Su-35 fighters – the Russians have significantly reduced the number of airstrikes with aerial guided bombs.

In addition, there are still no radar detection aircraft in the Sea of Azov and other fronts, which reduces the Russian ability to conduct radar reconnaissance.

Quote: "We have information that certain 'discussions' have already begun among Russian pilots about the decision of the military leadership to send them one way. Such discussions, and possibly sabotage, during the occupiers' missions will only increase when the Air Force receives more tools from its Western partners to protect our skies from enemy air attacks."
