Whatever fighters they have in the Crimea....they are probably being given ‘status’ for operational hours/parts/maintenance. So if they move them, they are are genuinely worried about losing what limited operational fighters they have in the overall inventory.

I would doubt that they are telling Putin this.

“I would doubt that they are telling Putin this.”

I do believe you are absolutely correct.

From the article: Russia is pulling all its fighter jets out of Crimea after a series of strikes on its military outposts there, secret NATO report says. A few days ago one of the Russian bases in Crimea was hit by either HIMARS or drones and took out a bunch of planes. Russia can not afford to have aircraft deployed at bases without effective anti-air or anti-missile defense, so they had to pull them back.

Ukraine is making it much harder for Russian operations in the south east part of the country and Crimea. Its hard to fight without effective air cover and key bridges and logistics getting blown to bits every few days. I have no idea when or how, Ukraine's moves make it look like they really want to take back Kherson and have a eye on Crimea.

The Crimea is probably not possible, but depending on the condition of Ukrainian forces, clearing the West Bank of the Dnieper is doable and desirable.

Well between Ukrainian AA fire and Russia’s stellar record of aviation maintenance, the actual number of available airframes is probably half that…

Another “goodwill gesture” by Russia :)

The more success the Ukrainians have on the battlefield the more the Russian desire to show goodwill increases.

Russia Concentrates More Than 700 Aircraft And Combat Helicopters On Border With Ukraine - AFU Air Force
HELP UKRAINIAN NEWS
Таня Герасимова

The Russian Federation has accumulated about 400 aircraft and 360 combat helicopters around the borders with Ukraine. The speaker of the Command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yurii Ihnat stated this at a briefing on Thursday, August 25.

Ihnat said that the aggressor state conducts patrols of the airspace of Belarus, Russia, the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as the waters of the Black and Azov Seas, for which it uses tactical aviation. In the sky, there are constantly Іl-22 relay aircraft and А-50 long-range radar detection aircraft, said the spokesman for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“Around our borders is a grouping of Russian aircraft - more than 400 combat aircraft. Also, 360 helicopters, of which more than 150 are strike ones, such as the K52,” Ihnat emphasized.

The speaker said that the Air Force shot down Russian drones and helicopters on August 24, but the enemy on Independence Day showed increased activity in the sky.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on August 25, the number of air alarms in Ukraine approached 200.

Ihnat also said that Russian aviation on Independence Day of Ukraine made about 200 aircraft sorties, but most often did not release missiles from them.

At the same time, on the Independence Day of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers attacked 58 settlements.

The Russian airforce:

* 40 year old planes
* Built by error prone Soviet factories
* Maintained by crews who pocket 80% of the budget
* Flown by pilots with more vodka than oxygen in their blood

For all these reasons the Russian air force has shown itself very poorly this war.

Ukraine is winning! Russian Air Force can’t fly out of these bases now. The Invaders is being pushed out. Ukraine super weapons are turning the tide. Soon they Russians will be in full retreat! No Russian Planes will fly over sacred Ukraine! The end of Russia is near—It will be over in a few weeks. They are running out of planes, men, and shells. CRIMEA will be free again! Then Donbas and all Ukraine—Then The march to take all Russian lands on Black Sea! Ukraine needs to punish Russia for its invasion by seizing lands to pay for the occupation that the Putinist’s have inflicted upon them. The final Victory is coming soon—Just send a few more Billion and maybe 200,000 US military advisors to win the war, once and for all. To not stand with Ukraine is to stand with Putin!
