Ukrainians have gained attention to confusion with the official Russian aircraft’s affected aircraft. Why this happened – read on the plot.
On social networks, disputes exploded in connection with the exact number of Russian aircraft’s destroyed aircraft as a result of the special operation of SBU Pavutin. There are official numbers from 12 to 41 vehicles. So why is there a difference – we understand the plot.
Official statistics
Ukrainian security service head Vasily Malyuk, the day, said that as a result of a special operation that simultaneously defeated four military airfields, 41 aircraft were affected, including A-50, TU-95, TU-22 M3 and TU-160.
“Overall, we are talking about defeat of 34% of strategic carriers of cruise missiles at the main airports of the Russian Federation. This is not just a destructive blow to enemy aircraft, but a serious slap in the power and terrorist essence of the Russian Federation,” Malyuk emphasized.
The estimated cost of the affected strategic aviation of the enemy reached more than $ 7 billion.
In this regard, Andrei Kovalenko, the head of the government center for the fight against misinformation, said at least Russian aircraft was damaged and others were damaged.
Updating data
Today, Ukraine’s general chief is updating the official number of Russian aircraft, adding 12 new aircraft after Pavutin special operation.
According to the latest data, Russia has only lost 384 military aircraft since the beginning of a full -scale Ukraine invasion in February 2022.

After updating, discussions exploded on social networks associated with the exact number of affected aircraft. Perhaps, the general staff included in its statistics has completely destroyed the vehicles, not considering the damaged ones. And the SBU in its messages called the total number of affected (destroyed and damaged) aircraft, so there was a difference in the numbers.
It should be noted that representatives of military intelligence recorded the complete destruction of 12 vehicles, but there may be heavy losses, as the Russians are trying to hide the true state of their forces.
Yuri also noted the head of the Air Force Department of Communication of the Armed Forces of Armed Forces reported by the SBU on injury on more than 40 sides during Pavutin’s operation. We talk about different types of injuries: with fully burning aircraft, something is broken forever, it can be damaged, subject to restoration.
According to him, even if the strategic aircraft is damaged requires restoration and will not be able to perform tasks for a long time
Ignat noted that according to the SBU, the A-50 aircraft was destroyed as a result of an attack by Ukrainian drones.
“The modernized A-50 in the Russians could count on the fingers of one hand. Thanks to them, Russia has conducted a strong radar reconnaissance in Ukraine for hundreds of kilometers, giving information to the enemy about the stay of our aircraft in the air, about wind attacks, as well as about attacking air defense. Aerodromes.
Is this easier for Ukraine?
In addition, propagandists have begun to write that the affected aircraft seems to have failed or generally an exhibition.
The Wall Street Journal rejects this information. Journalists reviewed possible losses to the air base attack and Moscow ended with severe losses. Probably irreversible.
Prior to the strike on June 1, the Russians had 54 TU-22m3 and 58 TU-95m. The publication emphasizes that it is unclear how many of them are in working condition, but TU-95ms or TU-22M3 is no longer in the Russian Federation.
“It is clear that the loss of twelve -strategic aircraft will seriously undermine Russian military power,” the media summarizes.
At the Royal United Institute of Defense Studies in London (Rusi), it was added that Ukrainian intelligence agencies have faced the strongest blow to the Russian Armada of long firefighters.
Military analyst Mikhail Zhirokhov also believes that Pavutin has long -term consequences.
“Although the Russians still have planes, their effectiveness has been talked about. Some of these are outdated models that haven’t been done for a long time. And even when we talk about the volume, no one knows exactly how many of them survived after the blows,” the radio NV air expert.
Girokhov assumes that now Russians have limited opportunities for the full -scale attack, so the front situation can change quickly.
“The restriction of Russia’s aviation forces opens up new opportunities for the Ukrainian military, ready to prevent any attempts through new attacks. Ultimately, in this historic moment, it even takes sides of those fighting for their independence and independence,” the expert said.
