"Russian air defense is waiting for problems." As, despite the statement of the Russian Federation, our aviation continues to suppress the actions of the invaders at the front - interview

Leading researcher of the State Aviation Museum, Avayexpert Valery Romanenko told Radio NV as, despite repeated statements by the Russians about the destruction of Ukrainian Air Force, our pilots with new weapons successfully suppress the aircraft.

-If you look at the situation [almost 6] months after the start of a large-scale Russian invasion, we have to somehow understand what power, what opportunities are in our aircraft now, and because it was for the magical destruction of Ukrainian military-air forces, that They still fly and impress the enemy? - As for the destruction of the Ukrainian Air Force, there are quite interesting statistics, a week ago, the Russians said that 261 Ukrainian aircraft was destroyed.

But at the beginning of the war, as of the end of February, we had only a hundred planes. That is, they have destroyed us 2. 5 times. But our air forces are still struck and their intensity is slowly increasing. As for our capabilities: now we have increased significantly to knock down the winged missiles of the Russians. This has been achieved in several ways, first, the methods of struggle, new tactical methods of combating Russian winged missiles.

Secondly, cooperation with allies, which, in addition to combat equipment, spare parts and ammunition, also share with us information about the actions of Russian aviation around Ukraine even until the winged missiles enter our territory. And about the capabilities, if we talk about our combat capabilities, extensions, we have a very limited chance in this regard. Because in fact, we have squeezed everything out of our outdated aviation equipment.

You can only develop some new tactical techniques or establish the interaction of troops. For example, Himars destroy Russian anti-aircraft missile complexes. It was reported that they destroyed four such complexes of the C-300 type and one armor, low range. And previously destroyed four more. That is, our planes have already been able to act quite actively on the front lines against the Russian Land Forces, our storms, our bombers.
