Is the performance of the Russian Air Force really poor this time?
In the past two days, there have been continuous news of Russian fighter jets being shot down. Su-25, Su-34 and Su-30M, all have shot-down images circulating online.
These news are basically released by the Ukrainian side.
I have to say that the Russian army encountered great trouble in this battle.
Some fighters do not carry precision-guided bombs when performing their missions, which requires low-altitude flight and very close proximity to the target in order to complete the bombing mission.
Although the Russian military claims to have gained air supremacy over Ukraine, the Ukrainian army can still launch anti-aircraft missiles, as well as "Stinger" anti-aircraft missiles provided by NATO and the United States.
The reason is that Russia's lack of military expenditure and precision-guided weapons are very expensive, which has become a major weakness of the Russian Air Force.
The second reason is that the information disclosed by the Russian army is very small, and the information disclosed by the Russian army is mostly numerical, and how many military bases, aircraft, radar stations, etc. have been destroyed, which are generally not very specific.
The reason may be that the Russian military does not want to show off their destruction of Ukraine in the war, which is the opposite of Ukraine.
The losses suffered by the Russian army are often magnified.
It is undeniable that the Russian Air Force is still a strategic air force with a strong strike capability.
This time, according to the West, the Russian army only sent 75 fighters to carry out the mission, and did not show its real strength.
