"Ukraine's Air Force Continues to Dominate Russian Jets in Ongoing Aerial Conflict"

Ukraine claims to have shot down 11 Russian planes in 11 days, including Su-34s, Su-35s, and A-50 radar planes, pushing the Russian air force closer to collapse. The Ukrainian air defenses may be using American-made Patriot missile launchers and NASAMS surface-to-air missile batteries to ambush Russian jets, while Russian forces' increased sorties and ammo shortages contribute to the spike in aviation losses. The Russian air force is losing warplanes faster than it can replace them, leading to increased stress on surviving planes and crews. The Russian air campaign in Ukraine is becoming unsustainable, with potential implications for the readiness of the Russian air force.
