Had 1400 aircraft: aircraft told why the Russian Federation was unable to throw Ukraine with bombs
Researcher at the National Aviation University, Avayexpert Valery Romanenko in an interview with NV named the reason. According to him, there is a main myth of hostile aviation, which is that it is able to conduct real fighting. The number of aircraft in Russia in the early days of the confrontation was enormous and their main task was to "knock out" our country with ordinary cheap shells. The aggressor could not do this because he could not resist air defense.
"We started the war with 120 combat aircraft, and this is an optimistic figure. And the Russians started a war with 1,400 aircraft. And these are real planes. And they managed to break through, for example, and landing a landing near Kiev, Gostomel. Kiev, but they could not consolidate the first successes. Separately, the air expert added that the bombs from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to be dumped at the moment when Mariupol in the Donetsk region had deep in the rear.
As a result, it turned out that, despite the tenfold advantage, aviation did not work absolutely, for which it "was not quarreled only by the most glored for inaction. " "They showed themselves on air shows, on various airlines, but it is a show, it is Potemkin villages. And real aviation is not capable of (overcome-ed. ) Our anti-aircraft missile complexes. Our radars, which are mostly old Soviet- Raders there, for example, are 70% old Soviet.
Despite the fact that Russia had all the frequencies on which Ukrainian radars worked, she could not sell and "trim" Ukraine. Also, the enemy failed to disrupt aviation, although the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had a huge number of missiles of various types. We will remind, on September 13 it was reported that more than 80% of Russian aviation will not be able to perform their tasks, said the military-political observer Alexander Kovalenko.
