Silicon Bites - #37 - Russia's Aircraft Losses Increase Dramatically as Kyiv's Strategy Changes.

Edition No37 | 01-03-2024
Ukrainian forces shot down the second Russian Su-34 attack plane in a
single day on Feb. 27, the Air Force reported. The destruction of the
jet is the latest in a recent uptick of downed Russian planes, including
two A-50 early warning and control aircraft in the past two months,
each costing around $330 million. There are signs that the uptick in
aircraft losses has caused Russia to change its aerial strategy,
reducing the number of sorties flown by Russia's Air Force, the
Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said in December 2023.

Ukraine reportedly downed a Su-34 on Feb. 21, a Su-34 and a Su-35S plane
on Feb. 19, a Su-34 plane on Feb. 18, as well as two Russian Su-34
fighter jets and another Russian Su-35 combat aircraft on Feb. 17.
Russia has lost around 340 planes since the beginning of the full-scale
invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces
reported on the morning of Feb. 27.
