The new commander of the Armed Forces Land Forces Alexander Pavlyuk said that at the beginning of the invasion, Ukrainian soldiers destroyed 7 enemy aircraft. Then the Russians realized that to capture Ukraine "in 2-3 days" would not work. At the beginning of a full -scale invasion, the enemy's aviation "did not allow our troops to raise their heads", the Russians had a complete advantage in the air.

However, the defense forces were struck by airfields in a hostile territory, which forced Russia to pause and move their planes to other places. The new commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Pavlyuk told this in an interview for Radio Liberty. According to him, Ukrainian servicemen approached the Russian invaders as close as possible to attack the Millervo airport in the Rostov region.

Pavlyuk added that the corresponding attack was mainly aimed at creating a psychological effect and causing the Russians to panic. Then the enemy lifted planes into the sky, which flew throughout the Russian Federation. Such a pause, as added by the Commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, made it possible to concentrate and work more efficiently.

According to Pavlyuk, in the first days of a full -scale war, chaos prevailed, it was difficult to understand which units were actively defending and which were on. "The artillerymen are well -worked. They were clearly working. Panic among the Russians was huge. No one expected that they would hit Russia on the first day of the war," he stressed. In addition, the new commander recalled that on the first day of a full -scale invasion of the invaders, the Ukrainian military destroyed 7 enemy aircraft.

Then, Pavlyuk adds, the Russians realized that to capture Ukraine "in 2-3 days" would not work. "After three days, we stopped the main forces of the enemy, caused them a rather powerful lesion. We saw that they were already throwing mobilized. We have built a clear line of defense," he said. Pavlyuk also added that in three days the defense forces managed to understand what to do next, the defenders began to confidently knock down the enemy's air goals.
