The Russian army has a lot of guided aerial bombs weighing 1500 kg. With these weapons, the occupiers are trying to exhaust Ukrainian air defense.
Why did the Russian army use aerial bombs more often?
There are many such bombs in Russia. They are trying to exhaust our air defense system. Our main task is to fight directly with the carriers, namely the Su-34 and Su-33 aircraft, emphasised the Air Force Command spokesman, Ilya Yevlash.
According to him, such a bomb can destroy a nine-story panel house or an old "Khrushchevka". Yevlash emphasises that destroying such aircraft requires operational and tactical skills and the skilful use of appropriate systems.
Most importantly, more Western systems are needed. In this matter, we rely on our partners, added Air Force representative.
