Moscow intends to receive its UAV from Tehran for its two aircraft squadrons, Yuri Ignat said.
Russia plans to exchange two squadrons of Su-24 and Su-35 aircraft for cheap Shahed drones, since it cannot use its aircraft in the skies of Ukraine. This is what the representative of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yury Ignat said on the air of the United News telethon on Monday, December 26.
“Unfortunately, there are enough Russian planes, especially tactical aviation planes, which are located around the Ukrainian borders in various approaches, obviously not on the borders themselves, but on strategies – Belarus, the occupied Crimea and the territory of Russia. Actually, Russia is an aircraft manufacturer and needs a quantitative increase in Shahed-131 and Shahed-136 kamikaze drones, and perhaps other strike UAV, so that it is with this technique, which is cheap, but it disturbs us, that they continue to hit critical infrastructures,” he explained.
Russian aircraft cannot fly over Ukraine, because the Russian Federation understands that they will be destroyed.
“The Air Force has long expelled Russian aviation from our airspace. Their tactical aviation works only on the front line of a collision, where they are often subject to fire from anti-aircraft missiles. Therefore, they want cope with a little blood. , so to speak, and order more Shaheds, who can at night, apply to our critical infrastructure facilities,” explained Ignat.
Iran is interested in increasing its combat potential and wants to strengthen it with two squadrons of Su-24 and Su-35, Ignat said. However, he recalled that these aircraft were repeatedly shot down by the Ukrainian air defense system. Israel now has stronger and more technologically advanced aircraft than the Russians mentioned.
Recall that the Russian Federation began launching an Iranian-made Shahed-131 drone, which is a smaller version of the Shahed-136, on the territory of Ukraine.
