Recently, the command body of the Russian armed forces and the Russian Presidential Office have successively expressed their positions, claiming that the russian air and space force units have basically eliminated the effective forces of the air force in Ukraine and lifted the main combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian air force. However, while announcing that it has completely grasped the air supremacy in Ukraine, the Russian military also issued a strong warning: "Neighboring countries should not provide airfields for Ukrainian fighters for their take-off and landing operations, or repair and replenishment bases."
Sources indicate that since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, several Ukrainian fighter jets and helicopters have sporadically flown into neighboring countries bordering Ukraine, such as Moldova and Romania. However, the organized mass transfer of fighters did not appear, and the US media believed through satellite pictures that most of the living forces of the Ukrainian army were wiped out by the Russian air raids and precision-guided weapons strikes for several days.
However, since the 4th, the Russian army has continuously encountered a large number of military aircraft shot down, and at present, according to the statistics of all parties, the Russian army has lost at least 12 to 15 military aircraft of various models, especially since the 5th, the Su 30SM and Su-34 fighters have been shot down, causing speculation in the foreign media.
They believe that since the Ukrainian army is weak and has been wiped out by the Russian army on the ground and airfields, why is there a large-scale phenomenon of "mass death and mass injury" in the Russian warplanes? Western social media even speculated that there is a situation where the US military or European F35 fighter jets are secretly participating in the war, and Russia warned the neighboring countries not to open the airport for the Ukrainian army to use.
Analysts pointed out that if NATO countries send F35 fighter jets to participate in the situation in Ukraine, there is no way to achieve the word "secret", the Russian military electronic reconnaissance system and space observation system since the 90s of the last century has been Russia and Ukraine NATO territorial countries as a close monitoring object, how to take off and land fighters at the military airports of these NATO countries, especially large-scale fighter formation take-off and landing operations can not fail to attract the attention of the Russian military authorities, so from a technical point of view, to achieve secret air combat only exists in the imagination.
Second, if NATO countries send F35s into Ukraine to participate in the war and concentrate on shooting down a large number of Russian aircraft, this is an act of war against Russia. Putin has warned Western countries of their plans to establish a no-fly zone in western Ukraine, and sending military aircraft to participate in the war is equivalent to directly declaring war on the Russian military, and russia will never sit idly by, and NATO countries and their collective security decision-making bodies do not dare to "cross the mine pool" at all.
Although Western countries have used various means to sanction Russia for several days, their solidarity with Ukraine is limited to the political and diplomatic level, and at the military level, it is limited to the transportation of ordinary defensive weapons, and western countries have recently vigorously prevented their own people from participating in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, including joining Ukrainian mercenaries or "volunteers", which shows that the Western attitude towards the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is very clear, and it is impossible to make any political mistakes.
On the one hand, the Russian side has increased its front-line battlefield fire support and increased the risk of encountering the Ukrainian ground air defense system. Their flight altitude is precisely within the range of the Russian-made "Needle" series of individual air defense missiles and the Us-made "Stinger" individual air defense missiles, and it is normal to be shot down in high-intensity confrontation.
On the other hand, the Russian military lacks sufficient reserves of precision-guided munitions, and also lacks a modern UAV battlefield support system, coupled with the loss of battlefield electronic interference. So far, most of the territory of Ukraine has mobile phones, civil communications and power facilities intact. On social media, ukrainian people have repeatedly reported the arrival of Russian aircraft and combat vehicles through mobile phones, and Ukrainian troops have accurately destroyed Russian convoys and fighters through wireless walkie-talkies and surveillance cameras.
The Russian side had no choice but to let the expensive Su-30SM and Su-34 play the role of battlefield attack aircraft such as the Su-25, which fully shows that there is indeed a huge gap in the level of combat technology and tactics and ammunition capabilities of the Russian army. In addition, coupled with the long-term quality problems in the maintenance of Russian fighters, once it encounters high-intensity confrontation, it increases the possibility of mechanical failure of the aircraft and its crash.
