On the evening of March 2, after reports of the downing of another Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber (in the morning) and subsequently the beating of another Su-34, screenshots appeared in the Telegram channel of Air Force Commander Pyotr Oleshchuk with the message that there were no enemy aircraft over the occupied territory of Ukraine ( there is only active work of reconnaissance drones).
On March 3, in a comment to Ukrainskaya Pravda, Yuriy Ignat confirmed that the occupiers had clearly reduced the use of aircraft in various directions.
It can also be mentioned that for a week now (since the last damage on February 23) the Russian A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft has not appeared near the borders of Ukraine.
The countermeasures provided to Ukraine by Western partners are showing their effectiveness. This is evidenced by the number of enemy aircraft shot down in February. The urgent task now is to secure the front-line territories for the enemy to use guided aerial bombs,” Ignat added.
On March 2, he told the United News telethon that “enemy planes are being destroyed in both the southern and eastern directions.”
We have tools that work every day,” Ignat said. “The occupiers already understand that a surprise may await them in one direction or another. Work is carried out almost every day. You saw the amplitude. Our systems are working and the enemy no longer feels as free as he did before.
In addition, Russian A-50s have not appeared over the Sea of Azov for the sixth day.
Su-34 and Su-35 can no longer feel free. A guided bomb has a limited range of action. In order to reach further, you need to fly closer. Flying any closer could be the end. The pilots and their command understand perfectly well and act more carefully. This allows our troops to catch their breath,” Ignat said.
He added that the occupiers do not know how to continue using the planes when they can go “after the Russian ship.
According to the Air Force spokesman, the additional tools our troops have received are not enough to cover the huge front line. At the same time, there are enough of them to lie in wait for the enemy where he does not expect it, expects it and becomes impudent.
