The AFU Air Force reported that after the downing of the enemy planes, there was a significant decrease in the activity of the enemy aircraft.
After the massive loss of aircraft, the Russians began to fly much less
The Air Force Command spokesman, Yuriy Ignat, announced the decrease in Russian aviation activity.
As practice shows, in the northern, southern, and eastern directions, the occupiers did not dare to fly closer for a certain period after the fall of the Russian planes' destruction. And the closer a plane flies with guided aerial bombs under its wings, the further those bombs can fly deep into our defences, — said Ignat.
