"Russian Air Force Faces Escalating Losses in Ongoing Conflict"

Experts suggest that Russia's strategy of keeping its aircraft at a distance and using glide bombs to protect them may be giving Ukraine more time to shoot them down. By launching glide bombs from higher altitudes, Russian jets are exposed to longer-range Ukrainian air defense systems, making them more vulnerable. While Ukraine's recent success in shooting down Russian jets is unlikely to change the course of the war, it has hindered Russia's air operations. However, Ukraine's missile stocks are running low, posing a serious threat to its ability to continue repelling Russian aircraft.
