Jeez… and here I thought it was 30 Russian planes shot down over 30 days. /sarc
More dead Russians and more destroyed Russian equipment.
Works for me.
The lesson here is that the balance of weapons has turned to advantage for air defence.
No good news for militaries that require air superiority as part of their victory plan.
The Ukrainians didnt claim 30, they claimed 10.
A few of these have independent confirmation.
The US lost over 2200 aircraft in Vietnam.

UKR is working on your goal as we speak.
I think it’s sick to playfully quote Britanny Spears (lyrics in her song) re war reporting.
” “Oops, we did it again!” the ministry quipped. “
I wonder if they have anything cute to quote for the senseless deaths of conscripts shoved to the front lines by Zelensky
Mine was one of ‘em......
The Ghost of Kiev is amazing! Is there anything that a brave propaganda fiction cannot do? Lacking any physical mass whatsoever the Ghost of Kiev can also appear in dreams and hear your prayers.
Якщо український народ хоче вижити, йому потрібно повісити Зеленського на рояльний дріт і спалити своїх господарів з CIA.
Still in the 2nd quarter of the game. Let us know when it is over who won.

Given how much the Ukrainians have lied, and continue to lie, and our MSM and government help them lie, there's no reason to believe the Ukraine's claims. They cried wolf too many times.
If their claims are true, it does not remove the importance of air superiority. Air Defenses are taken out by aircraft and ground troops all the time. This 'story,' or today's propaganda piece, does not signal a turn of events. The media is going to fan these claims to try to portray it as worthy of billions of United States tax dollars. The Ukraine is dying and will continue to die until Zelensky flees to his mansion and the MSM distract everyone with a false flag. Why should the United States pay for the Ukraine's funeral?
“ The Ukrainians didnt claim 30, they claimed 10.

Well don’t blame me for the Ukrainians’ lack of ambition in their claims.
The balance of weapons is for this war, not war in general, as this is the RuAF we are talking about, not the US and NATO, as their equipment and doctrine are very different and have not made an appearance in this war at all.
And its not really a change in “balance”, as the RuAF has never in this war been able to challenge the Ukrainian SAM umbrella with manned aircraft. Its spent most of that time nibbling at the edges of the front line at low altitude.
What the Russians have been doing lately is dropping standoff glide bombs, necessarily at high altitude, from what they hoped was beyond the range of that SAM umbrella. They have been disabused of this notion, and henceforth any glide bomb operations will have to be conducted from even further back. The Russians will probably have to modify their munitions in order to find such a safe zone.
Then, the Gay YouCrayne President does not need American TaX Dollars or
weapons.
It does not seem there is any pleasing you :)
If they have been using Patriot missiles for this then of course they need US weapons. The Patriot is a US weapon, designed specifically, mind you, to shoot down Russian aircraft. There are still quite a few Russian aircraft to shoot down, so they need more missiles.
A friend & mentor was shot down as well. Spent 2 years in Hanoi and he despised Jane Fonda until the day he died.
No. The lesson is really for the USA/NATO. Which depends on air superiority as their battle strategy.
If Russian air defence is even better than Ukraine (yes it is), then NATO will have to get on the ground with these guys, and it won’t go any better than the Counter-Offensive.

I found Ukraine's secret weapon!
