What is known about the probable AFU destruction of two more Russian planes

The Air Force Commander, Mykola Oleschuk, did not rule out that the Ukrainian military, most likely, shot down two more aircraft of the Russian criminal army near the front line.

Oleschuk emphasised that we are talking about the Su-34 and Su-35 of the Russian occupiers, which attacked the front line with guided aerial bombs.

The Air Force Commander added that the enemy aircraft were fired with anti-aircraft-guided missiles.

There has just been a combat use of anti-aircraft guided missiles against two enemy Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft. We are waiting for confirmation of the desired result, Oleschuk said.

According to him, the Russian occupiers continue their attacks in the eastern direction, using tactical aircraft to drop guided aerial bombs.

However, it is becoming more and more difficult for Russian war criminals to be in Ukrainian airspace.
