It Became Known How Ukrainian Forces Shoot Down Russian Aircraft Every Day

The "plane fall" is not accidental.

Recently, the defenders of the Ukrainian sky have been shooting down more and more Russian Su-34 fighters and other enemy aircraft. Most likely, this became possible not because of certain types of anti-aircraft missiles, but thanks to the skill of Ukrainian air defence crews.

Ivan Kirichevsky, a military expert of the Defence Express portal, said this on the air of Espresso. He stressed that now the question is not what exactly shot down the Russian planes, but that this was done despite the countermeasures of the enemy.

"Our air defence has learned to operate under constant pressure from the enemy in the frontline zone and has learned to shoot down Russian aircraft. It is unlikely that such an intensity of shooting down is associated with the arrival of certain types of anti-aircraft missiles. Rather, this is the operational skill of our Anti-Aircraft Forces," Kirichevsky said.

The fact that the Ukrainian air defence forces have learned to shoot down the occupiers' combat aircraft is evidenced by a number of boards lost by the enemy during the last month alone. On Tuesday, February 27, on the day of intense fighting, the soldiers managed to land two Russian Su-34 aircraft.

The expert also suggested what types of weapons the sky defenders could use for this.

“It can be different variations of the Patriot. Even within the framework of the project, FrankenSAM talked about different Western parts. Also, some of our bodies said that we had a Death Star called the S-200 systems, which has a declared passport range of up to 250 km. We also have Italian-French SAMP/T, which also has a fairly high range of aerodynamic targets," he said.
