Aviation Aircraft Air Force Aviation in the East is increasing - the Armed Forces (Video)

According to the speaker of the Air Force Yuri Ignat, it is impossible to collect aviation to the borders, as it is not tanks or artillery - aviation should be at airfields. But air attacks are increasing now. The speaker of the Air Force of Ukraine Yuri Ignat commented on publications in the Western media that Russia is trying to strengthen its grouping in Ukraine through aviation, which is levied closer to the borders. This was reported by Radio Liberty.

Ignati said that it was most likely an incorrect submission of the title. "It is impossible to recover aviation to the borders, these are not tanks, not artillery, not BMP, not personnel. Aviation should be at airfields," he explained. At the beginning of a large -scale Russian invasion, Russian troops were drawn to the borders of hundreds of aircraft and helicopters, this technique did not change its location to this day, the military said.

"Before the beginning of aggression, it was 750 units of equipment, but now, depending on the tasks, the total number may change. Russia will use these airfields in the future. This is about 40 airfields in the occupied Crimea, in the occupied territory , - he explained. Some airfields are near Ukraine, such as "Baranovichi", while others, for example, in Engels, further from the border, and from there are launches X-101, X-55 and others.

"At the beginning of the aggression, the most sides were destroyed - aircraft about 300 and helicopters are also about 300. For more than 10 months they no longer fly into Ukraine's airspace, as was it at the beginning of aggression because they were knocked down. And why were they knocked down? Because what? victims of their own propaganda, ”Ignat explained.

He noted that, in view of everything, Russian pilots believed the message of the speaker of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Igor Konashenko, who repeatedly reported on "destruction of Ukrainian air forces". Pilots without fear began to appear in the Ukrainian sky - and it was then that the enemy had the greatest loss of aviation.

With the escalation of hostilities, Russia can increase air attacks in eastern Ukraine-increase the activity of assault and bombing aviation, in particular KA-52 helicopters. Sometimes it happens now - and the Air Force of the Armed Forces goes into a trophy discharge. According to Ignati, the Armed Forces of Ukraine is no longer the ones that were at the beginning of a large -scale invasion after February 24, in the Russian Federation they understand it and will not risk it.
