People are asking why didn’t the Ukrainians bomb the base instead of giving it up to the rebels. Maybe they were too busy attacking civilian targets.
“Maybe they were too busy attacking civilian targets.”
According to reports, Kiev may have lost one, or two, fighters last night. They likely don’t have many more than that operational, as there is no evidence that more than three have been flying at the same time.
If the reports of two gunships lost today are true, Kiev is likely running out of serviceable aircraft. And they are concentrating them around Slovyansk.
