the planes are being added to the subterranean fleet.
Putin is secretly leading a mole people uprising.
Russia:
Gets punched in the mouth. Tries to hide it. Smiles anyway.
Didn’t hurt! 🤕
I am bleeding, making me the victor!
They are making slow small gains but its not a show to lose such an amount of aircraft. By whatever metric they have, they are seeing a result.
I wonder how long the pilots will take to figure out that they are cannon fodder now…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Washington DC-based Institute for the Study of War said in an update on Tuesday that Russia appears to be maintaining a high frequency of fixed-wing air missions over Ukraine.
Russia “is possibly willing to tolerate risks to fixed-wing aircraft, likely because the Russian command may have decided that the positive effects generated by such air operations outweigh the costs associated with flying such missions,” it said.
The ISW had previously released an assessment on Monday that suggested Ukraine’s reported successes had caused Russia’s air force to scale back its flights.
Ukraine’s military has been able to hold back Russia’s significantly larger and more advanced air force throughout much of the conflict, something that experts say has been crucial to preventing a Russian victory.
Russia using glide bombs near Avdiivka may be why Ukraine has been able to shoot down so many Russian jets, experts previously told Business Insider.
But the missiles Ukraine needs to shoot them down are running low, and experts told BI that this means Russia’s air force could soon fly freely, causing effects so devastating that it could end the war.
