🔥 Around 2:00 p.m., they worked on their regular shift⚠️ Su-34.

The direction is the same!

The goal is the same!

❗️ With such losses of combat and special aviation, the Russians should think, at least for some time to stop "airborne meat assaults". Well, let's keep working...

🇺🇦 To victory!

Approximately US$36Million each, since the war started it is estimated Russia has lost approximately 25+ at end of December 2023 out of the ~149 that were in service, but have received some deliveries of the additional 40 ordered.

Going to be interesting on finding out how they are managing this one. Ukraine suddenly has the capability to knock everything out of the sky. Did they get some F-16's a few months early?

S-200 missiles combined with Patriot radar seems to be the most likely bet. The Air Force commander also joked that Russia is using airborne meat assaults. The increasing use of aerial bombs by Russia would support that statement.
