Having a fairly large advantage in tactical aviation, the enemy continues to launch fire strikes on Ukrainian positions.
Even despite the large number of aircraft destroyed in recent days, Russia has not completely stopped using its tactical aviation. This was stated by the head of the press service of the operational-strategic group of troops “Khortitsa” Ilya Yevlash.
“After our air defense has worked and shot down another Su-34 or Su-35, of course the Russians do not completely stop using their tactical aviation. They can change tactics somewhat, they can change the number of air strikes per day, the type of aircraft. For example, instead of Su -34 launch older models – this is the Su-25, they can switch to army aviation. But of course, they don’t stop there,” Yevlash explained on the “We are Ukraine” TV channel.
According to him, having a fairly large advantage in tactical aviation, the enemy continues to launch fire strikes on Ukrainian positions.
“One of the ways out is to develop the use of our air defense systems. We see that they have been used quite effectively recently. This “dry fall” is evidence of this. But nevertheless, Russia has quite a lot of these aircraft, which they continue to use. Our task is to make the conditions of use as unpleasant as possible,” summed up Yevlash.
