Yuriy Ignat noted that the “dignity” boasted by the Russian Defense Ministry about destroying Ukrainian aviation exists only in their imagination.
The Ministry of Defense (MO) of the Russian Federation has permanently declared the alleged “shooting down” of 20 Ukrainian aircraft per month. However, these statements are not true. This was said by colonel, spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat in a telethon The only news on Monday, June 26th.
“In its reports, Russia “destroys” 20 of our planes in a month, or more. I want to note that in June we had a plane loss, it was at the beginning of this month. Unfortunately , it is happening, but it is war.” But, this is one. And they (Russians, – ed.) is claimed to be 20 or more,” he said.
The military added that over the past two weeks, the invaders have repeatedly tried to attack Ukrainian airfields, as Ukrainian aircraft are now successfully conducting operations at dozens of operational airfields.
“We all see the results of this defensive work. It is clear that the enemy is “on fire.” Therefore, he has repeatedly tried to attack the airfields for the past two weeks. This is Kropyvnytskyi, and the Dnieper (literally a recent X- 22 missile attack on the Dnieper), and Starokonstantinovka”, he added.
According to him, the enemy, first of all, wants to destroy the weapons provided by Ukraine by its partners, and the planes that make dozens of sorties every day.
“But the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine understands this. Aircraft are usually scattered, they are buried and they continue to carry out tasks. And not a single Russian statistic will destroy them,” Ignat concluded.
Remember, the day before, the commander of the Ground Forces, Colonel-General Alexander Syrsky, said that the invaders were losing positions near Bakhmut, the Ukrainian military continued to advance on the flanks.
