The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine continues for the third year.
Even after destroying Ukrainian cities, the Russian army has not retreated from Ukraine.
On one hand, the Ukrainian Army is looking for fighter aircraft, weapons and ammunition from its Western allies, while on the other hand, Putin’s new action has created an uproar in the Ukrainian Army.
Russia has claimed that it destroyed three warplanes, three missile launchers and ammunition stores of Ukraine in one day.
Days after footage of a horrific crash of a fighter plane in Crimea surfaced on social media, Russia has claimed that it shot down three Ukrainian warplanes.
Apart from this, the Russian Defense Ministry said that its forces destroyed three Ukrainian S-300 missile launchers, ammunition warehouse and drone storage. Russia says that this operation of their army was completed in just one day.
It is clear from Russia’s claim that Kiev’s army is on the backfoot in the war. She is currently suffering from shortage of weapons and ammunition.
It is expecting early delivery of F-16 fighter aircraft from its western allies. Russia says its forces destroyed three Soviet-era warplanes during an operation against a Ukrainian air base in the south.
The warplanes, Su-25 Close Air Support, were deployed at Ukraine’s Voznesensk airfield in the Nikolaev region, the Defense Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
The Russian Defense Ministry said without giving further details that its military had carried out the operation with the help of aircraft, missile forces and troops.
According to the Russian statement, the Russian military targeted the Ukrainian army and its military equipment in 126 areas within 24 hours.
In total, Russia has shot down 270 helicopters and 17,951 drones since the start of the war, the Defense Ministry said.
