Baits for Aviation of the Russian Federation: How "came" Russian SU-34 near Zaporozhye (video)

To spread: Russian troops are actively spending expensive drones and ammunition on the destruction of mulagus of Western artillery systems and SCRs, which Ukrainian military people place near the front line. In addition, such lures help to identify and destroy the enemy aircraft. The military expert and founder of the Reactive Post project Pavel Narozhiv on Radio NV commented on the recent episode when the Russian front bomber Su-34 was shot down in the Zaporozhye region.

The Russian side the day before stated the destruction of the Ukrainian air defense installation, but later it turned out that the Armed Forces used a carefully prepared model. The real complex remained in the ambush and opened the fire when the enemy aircraft entered the area of ​​the defeat. According to Russian resources, one of the pilots was killed, the other was able to survive.

In this regard, the Narozhny noted that such operations were made possible by the widespread use of Western weapons. They mislead the enemy and make them spend expensive ammunition. For example, M777 artillery dummy costs $ 500. And on average, it is possible to destroy 3-4 lancet drone, the cost of which reaches $ 35-40 thousand.
