There is a high probability that within the next four months, the Russian army will lose all its front-line aviation.
AFU can destroy the enemy's entire front-line aircraft in a matter of months
Such a forecast was voiced by the ex-company's chief of the AFU 24th separate assault battalion "Aidar", a Russo-Ukrainian war veteran Yevhen Dykyi.
He pointed out that the Russians have about 100 Su-34 front-line aircraft, and in the last few weeks they have already lost more than 12 of them.
If you destroy plus or minus one plane per day at thic pace, then in 100 days, which is less than 4 months, they will run out of all front-line aviation, — predicts Yevhen Dykyi.
What is essential to understand is that during every exchange of prisoners, the Kremlin always puts the pilots first on the lists.
In addition, it is emphasised that for each pilot, the enemy consistently gives 10 Ukrainian soldiers.
More than for pilots, they only once gave for Medvedchuk (the godfather of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Viktor Medvedchuk, — Ed.)... They fight so seriously only for pilots and FSB officers — that's all, Yevhen Dykyi explains.
The US analysed Russian aviation losses in recent weeks
According to American analysts' data, the losses of Russian aviation quite possibly provoked a significant decrease in its activity in the east of Ukraine.
While it is difficult to say how long this forced pause will last.
The Russian occupiers may in the future come to terms with increasing losses in aviation and continue to try to strike in support of Russian offensive operations.
On the evening of Mar. 2, the Russian aviation activity in the east of Ukraine completely stopped after the Ukrainians shot down two Russian Su-34 aircraft. The Ukrainian Air Force official representative stated the decrease in the activity of the Russian aviation continued on Mar. 3, ISW emphasises.
