| [YouTube - Defense Updates] It is unmistakable that Russia has lost a considerable number of fighter jets as well as attack helicopters in the Ukrainian conflict. The losses are far more than anticipated. Very few could have predicted this kind of damage will be sustained by the Russian Air Force. Interestingly, Russia is also taking crucial losses even without enemy action. A MiG-31 Foxhound fighter jet being flown in routine training exercises crashed near the Finnish border, in the Leningrad region of northwestern Russia on Friday. Fortunately, the pilots were safely ejected and no injuries were reported. In this video Defense Updates analyzes how the Russian air force is falling apart by itself |
