Ukraine ramps up air strikes to help its forces thwart Russian attack
The Ukrainian Air Force has stepped up airstrikes in support of the country’s forces over the past few weeks amid the Russian Defense Ministry’s announcement that Ukraine’s air fleet is now decommissioned.
Observers noted an increase in the activity of the Ukrainian Air Force in the eastern and southern regions facing attacks from the Russian army.
So far, the photos and videos that have appeared on social networks in the last few days confirm that the Armed Forces of Ukraine still have the majority of combat power in the air, both fixed and rotary.
