Two Mi-8 Rederations "refused" to perform combat tasks-the media
It is noted that one of the helicopters with serious injuries sat on the highway in the Bryansk region. The other - crashed in Kyrgyzstan. "Similar incidents took place last year: Russia lost even modern shock rifles Ka-52 outside the battle. So it is not surprising that last year the Russian Federation failed at the Dubai military equipment exhibition. Writes "Military Courier".
Only one Russian airline, Yakutia, has 7 incidents in a week, and some airlines have to reduce the number of flights because there is nothing to fly. Despite the desire to produce planes, there is no opportunity in Russia - access to imports is closed, and to localize the production of complex equipment, such as, for example, avionic or management system, is not possible. Last year, Russia has not released any aircraft.
The Russian Federation is not enough for spare parts even before its own military aviation. And not only recent incidents with ME-8 testify to this. Last year, the American Institute for the Study of War reported that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation wanted to buy components from partner countries to its military equipment. "What is waiting for Russian aviation further, it is easy to guess - aviation cannibalism: this is when some planes are disassembled to repair others.
This means that the air fleet of the Russian Federation will be constantly reduced. . We will remind that military expert Alexander Kovalenko stated that in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost peace after mass loss of military aircraft. Russian planes explode 100-300 km from the territory controlled by Ukraine.
