For the past two days, Russian attack and army aviation carried out hundreds of combat sorties to destroy units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk border area, which allowed us to gain time for our reserves to arrive. Now the Air Force tactics have changed. This was reported by the Fighterbomber information resource on the morning of August 8.
«The aviation has fulfilled its task of containing the enemy and gaining time for the regrouping of our forces,» the expert noted, «and is now acting less intensively, but constantly. Our reserves have arrived and will continue to arrive.»
According to him, the main forces of the bomber aviation are ready for work. «The aviation needs goals and objectives,» the specialist noted. — We need specific coordinates. It is fun, but pointless, to pound a single UAZ with the entire aviation group.»
The «free hunt» tactical technique of searching for and destroying targets by individual crews is inappropriate. This is suicide, the expert noted, hinting at the presence of air defense systems on the part of the enemy. One of the tasks of the Air Force is to search for anti-aircraft missile systems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and destroy them using both aviation forces and our reconnaissance and strike systems. «…Normal work is slowly starting,» the military pilot concluded.
