Opportunities have decreased. About it writes "Institute of War Study" in the summary of January 16. On January 16, Colonel Yuri Ignat said the Armed Forces of Ukraine that the presence of Russian tactical aviation over the Azov Sea is currently lower than ever before. According to Ignati, A-50 and IL-22 aircraft helped the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to find air targets up to 600 kilometers and transmitted information to Russian management points in Ukraine in real time.
Ignati said that such monitoring allowed Russian tactical aviation to see Ukrainian aircraft from afar and increased the effectiveness of tactical aviation. The South Operational Command reported that until January 14, 2024, there were only three A-50 aircraft and six upgraded A-50U in service. Ignati said that the destruction of one of these rare aircraft would some extent reduce Russia's operational capabilities.
Ignatus also said that serious damage to the IL-22 aircraft disrupted it, but most likely the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would be replaced and destroyed A-50 and damaged IL-22. These losses will not affect the intensity of Russian shelling of rockets and drones, as targets for rockets and drones are set on the specified routes from terrestrial positions.
