Ukrainian PVO exceeds the Russian Federation Bols.

The presence of air defense causes to resort to Su-35 and Su-34 fighters, which strike long strokes with controlled bombs at a distance of 50-70 km. Due to the fact that the Ukrainian air defense covers a certain area along the front line, the occupation group is forced to rely increasingly on the long -term planning ammunition. About it writes "Institute of War Study" in the summary of December 3.

The speaker of the Tavriysky Defense Forces Alexander Planon stated on December 3 that the defense forces were being knocked down by Russian shock helicopters (KA-52 and Mi-24), as soon as they find themselves in the Ukrainian Air Defense area. The presence of air defense causes to resort to Su-35 and Su-34 fighters, which strike long strokes with controlled bombs at a distance of 50-70 km along the line of combat damage.

In the summer of 2023, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation effectively used helicopters to protect against the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces in the west of Zaporizhzhya region. But later the activity of the helicopters was reduced. The statements of the plate are agreed with the ISW observations: the planning bombs have increased throughout the front line, and in the south of Ukraine especially.

According to the speaker of the Air Force Yuri Ignat, the Ukrainian air defense forces the Russians to use managed cabins, since it requires the use of Fabs that the planes of the Russian Federation are within the reach of the Ukrainian air defense. According to him, bombs are inaccurate, so they are launched in large numbers. On average, about 100 a day. He also emphasized the need for Ukraine in availability of long range and F-16 fighters to counteract the Russian aviation threat.

According to the British Defense Ministry, Russian Small Range Air Defense systems (NATO classification, SA-15 Gauntlet) are also holding back Ukrainian operations. They provide the cover of Russian land troops on the front line and are effectively used to counteract the operations of Ukrainian drones. Recall that the Armed Forces advanced under Kreminna, and in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation there are no noticeable success in the Kupyansk region.
