Ukraine's Strategic Move: Taking Down Russian Planes and Sending a Message

TL;DR Summary
Experts believe that Ukraine's destruction of two valuable Russian jets may have been facilitated by the risky relocation of a Patriot missile system close to the front lines. While some experts speculate that the Patriots were used, others argue that it's unlikely due to the system's scarcity and value to Ukraine. The loss of the two planes is considered significant for Russia, potentially impacting its air force tactics in the ongoing conflict. Ukraine continues to seek more air defense equipment from allies to maintain its capabilities.
