Russian troops have a decisive advantage over the Armed Forces of Ukraine in strike aviation, so all attempts at an offensive by mechanized columns are doomed. So says the former people's deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, politician Oleg Tsarev. In his channel, he drew attention to the fact that in ten days of fighting during the offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not shoot down a single Russian plane or helicopter. Tsarev explained this fact by the fact that Russian troops, on the eve of the Ukrainian «offensive» We have worked hard to destroy Ukrainian air defense systems, including Western ones — Patriot, Iris-T and others.
The lack of air defense systems at the front allows us to use our aviation more massively. “Aviation, with enough of it, will always beat ground equipment,” Tsarev noted. — The total dominance of Russian aviation in the sky will allow it to easily stop the enemy's offensive.
According to the politician, no matter how many Western tanks Kiev throws at a breakthrough, «for Russian aviation they will be a convenient target.» “We understand that. The West understands this. And, most importantly, Kyiv understands this. That is why we still do not observe tank columns — wedges storming our positions,» concluded Oleg Tsarev.
