Ukraine reports jump in number of downed Russian planes

Vitaly Shevchenko  |  8 hrs ago

Ukraine's military says it has shot down 10 Russian military jets in as many days, which marks a sharp increase over the preceding months.

The claim comes despite shortages experienced by Ukrainian forces due to delays in Western supplies.

Ukraine says a total of 342 Russian planes and 325 helicopters have been shot down since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022.  .  .  .

.  .  .  Ukraine says it shot down some of the best aircraft available to the Russian air force between 17 and 27 February.

They include a highly sophisticated and rare A-50 military spy plane. If confirmed, this would be the second A-50 downed in just over a month, an embarrassing loss for Russia and a significant win for Ukraine.

The other Russian planes Ukraine claims to have destroyed in the time period are seven Su-34s and two S-35 fighter jets.

One weapon Ukraine is likely to have used is the US-supplied Patriot surface-to-air missile.

The higher number of Russian planes claimed to have been shot down recently suggests that "Ukraine is being more aggressive with risking Patriot launchers close to the frontlines in order to engage Russian jets," Justin Bronk, a senior research fellow at the London-based think-tank Rusi, told the BBC.  .  .

I don't think it's the Ukrainians who are doing the shootdowns now...

It's us?  If it is get ready for WW3.

That's all just hearsay speculation. But really, what kind of WW3 can Russia wage short of nuclear? If they all want to die that's a choice but that would seem highly unlikely. Russia already has something like 500,000 dead in the Ukraine war it started. They're in no position to widen the war to the rest of NATO.

The loss of an A-50 is no small deal. The Russians don't have many operational ones left (one or two).

The Russians have never balked at sending more meat to the front. They did it in WWII with machine guns at their back to ensure they did not retreat.

Communism may be pronounced 'dead', but the lingering totalitarianism makes it a difference without distinction.

In 1915 it was The Fokker Scourge. In April 1917 was Bloody April for allied airmen. February 2024's Scourge Against Sukhois continues:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPBFvLGC-BM&t=234s

FWIW, SU-34s are fighter-bombers, and Su-35s are fighters, both modern (think F-15E and F-15C, but newer). I wonder whether the orcs have been flying missions like these all along, and Ukraine has/is doing something different, or if the orcs have started flying these missions to support an offensive.

Not impossible. One of the benefits to the US of our alliance with Israel was learning how well US weapons worked against Soviet counterparts and how best those weapons could be used. Ukraine seems to be doing similarly, and is also being creative in adapting some western equipment for use with their (sometimes upgraded) Soviet era equipment (e.g. operating AGM-88 HARM missiles from MiG-29s). Suchomimus has speculated that the Ukrainians may have created a sort of Franken-SAM system, operating S-200 missiles (long range) with Patriot system radars (long search range) and these may have downed some of the Su-34s and Su-35s. Or maybe some F-16s have been deployed months earlier than publicly announced.

The recent loss of 2 of Russia's 3 (or 5) A-50 operational AWACS-type aircraft is probably forcing some hard choices on the Russians. Move remaining A-50(s) from other frontiers? Try to restore/upgrade existing non-op A-50s? Operate what they have in the Ukrainian theater farther from the front lines (making them less useful)? Stop A-50 flights and try to get necessary info using other less capable but better self-protecting aircraft?

Great video -- thanks for the post.  Yes, people are afraid. Including myself.  Our government has taken a very quick curve to the left towards socialism and what I am hearing from various news sources is disturbing; with the most obvious troubling occurrence in our country is that of ILLEGAL immigration and the blatant invasion that continues. We are to accept this???

Ukraine says it has shot down three more Russian warplanes

February 29, 2024  |  6:14 AM EST

KYIV, Feb 29 (Reuters) - Ukraine's military said on Thursday it had shot down three more Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers, the latest successes it has reported against Moscow's air force.
"After successful combat operations against an enemy aircraft in the night on Feb. 29, two more Russian aircraft were destroyed: Su-34 fighter-bombers in the Avdiivka and Mariupol sectors," Army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on the Telegram messaging app.  .  .

The day was also tinged with the geopolitical tension between Moscow and the West, with a crowd of diplomats, including U.S. Ambassador to Russia Lynne M. Tracy, in attendance a day after Putin reiterated his threats of nuclear war.

Navalny “remains a shining example of what Russia could and should be,” the U.S. Embassy said in a post on X. “His death is a tragic reminder of the lengths the Kremlin will go to silence its critics.”

@kevindavis007

I have to tell you that has to be one of the bravest and most shocking  public displays I have ever seen. It takes some serious commitment to political reform and justice for a Russian citizen to step forward and be counted by taking part in a public demonstration against the Police State Authority of the neo-Soviet Union.

Compare that to the Americans and other westerners that refuse to take public stands against their political leaders for fear of losing their jobs.

MUCH respect going out to everyone who was there.
