The Ukrainian air defense is crumbling."
Oh really? That's so interesting!
So, the greatly increased use of Russian fixed wing aircraft closer to Ukrainian frontlines might explain the need for one of Russia's super-A-50 $500 million, almost one-of-a-kind AWACS style airborne warning & control plane, to get close enough to Ukraine to come within range of Ukraine's ancient old Soviet S-200 SAMs???
Wow!!!
