Russia increases air forces at the borders with Ukraine and is preparing to step. Most invaders' flight elites are destroyed, and young people are thrown into the battle, soothing into the Defense Ministry. The Ukrainian army has knocked down many aircraft and helicopters of Russian invaders, but their reserves are still larger. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov said this in an interview with Babel on February 20.

According to Reznikov, the Armed Forces destroyed most of the flight elite of the Russians and send less experienced young pilots to the battle. "Aviation is first and foremost professional pilots. Preparation of the Sniper Pilot is years. I think most of their flight elite has destroyed. Now flew mostly young animals. How far do they be able to fly?" - the minister is asking the question. Russia accumulates air forces on the borders with Ukraine, as it is part of the preparation for the offensive.

The success of its use depends on a number of factors, the head of the Ministry of Defense is convinced. "It depends on the massacre of their arrival, and how much on this day or hour we need to release air missiles. Concerns, one target is 2 missiles. If 20 aircraft are 40 rockets, 100 aircraft - 200 missiles. There are risks, but not needed To perceive everything disappeared, "Reznikov reassured.

The minister mentioned the classical military science of the offensive - it is necessary to force the opponent to stop and go to defense, get an advantage in the air, so as not to let him go into counter -offensive and destroy all reserves, logistics chains and reserves. "Aviation is also needed. Therefore, when we say that the Russians are getting ready for the offensive, it is a must -have about aviation," the minister added.

Speaking about the chances of the Russians on a successful air campaign, Reznikov stressed that it would depend on several factors - the skill of pilots, weather, maneuverability and the technical condition of aircraft. Western partners are aware of the situation, so such an active position, especially in the head of Pentagon Lloyd Austin, he said. Reserikov estimate, in addition to air defense systems, requires airplaces to dispose of Iranian drones and winged missiles.
