Russia Pilots Don't Know Where Battlelines Are: Get Shot Down
[Newsweek] The UK's Intelligence Agency has said the Russian Air Force is taking greater risks in its war on Ukraine and has suffered losses because of it.The Ministry of Defence provided an update on the situation in Ukraine on Monday, September 19 and explained its findings on Twitter. The intelligence body also highlighted the air force's desire for greater risk may be a consequence of Ukraine pushing back against Russian forces on the ground. "Russia has highly likely lost at least four combat jets in Ukraine within the last 10 days, taking its attrition to approximately 55 since the start of the invasion," the post read. "Russian pilots situational awareness is often poor; there is a realistic possibility that some aircraft have strayed over enemy territory and into denser air defense zones as the front lines have moved rapidly. "Russia's continued lack of air superiority remains one of the most important factors underpinning the fragility of its operational design in Ukraine." Posted by: Lord Garth 2022-09-20 |
