Ukraine's Air Defense Destroys Three Enemy Aircraft

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that their air defense systems shot down two MiG-29 fighters and a Su-25 attack aircraft belonging to the Ukrainian Air Force in separate incidents. Recent weeks have seen the Russian armed forces achieve several victories against Ukrainian fighter jets, both in flight and on the ground. Russia has fortified its air defense in the regions of Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk with advanced systems such as the Buk-M3, S-300, and S-400. These systems are capable of shooting down the MiG-29 fighter. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 continues to escalate tensions between the two countries.

US Zuni Rockets Found on Ukrainian Su-25s Amidst Russian Artillery Attacks.

Photos circulating on social media show that some of the 5-inch Zuni air-launched rockets pledged to Ukraine by the United States have been delivered and are in use with the Ukrainian Air Force’s Su-25 Frogfoot attack aircraft. The rockets are intended to supplement the Soviet-era unguided rockets currently in use by the Ukrainian military, which are running low on supplies. The Zuni rockets offer a greater range and accuracy, potentially putting the launch aircraft outside the range of many very short-range air defense systems. The modular nature of the Zuni allows for different warhead types to be employed against various targets.
