[Korrespondent] The enemy has increased the number of airstrikes from bomber aircraft

Alexander Shtupun noted that airstrikes were recorded not only in the Avdeevka area, but along the entire front line.

The Russian invaders have resumed the use of their Su-34 and Su-35 fighter-bombers. This was announced on Thursday, December 28, by the speaker of the joint press center of the Tauride Defense Forces, Colonel Alexander Shtupun, on the air of Front Line.

He added that the Avdievka area is now “hot”: the number of clashes has decreased, but the enemy is using more armored vehicles.

"He (the enemy - ed.) also increased the number of airstrikes. He began using Su-35 and Su-34 again. A total of 18 airstrikes per day were recorded. This is not only Avdievka, but along the entire line of combat contact. That is, in almost all directions in 2 “3 airstrikes were recorded,” the speaker noted.

According to him, compared to Wednesday, December 27, the use of kamikaze drones has doubled - more than a hundred cases.

The Russians continue to lose a very large amount of equipment: Ukrainian defenders destroyed or severely damaged more than a hundred pieces of Russian equipment.

Shtupun also added that Russia lost almost 500 soldiers in this direction per day.

As you know, on December 22, Ukrainian defenders destroyed three Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers in the south of the country.
