Ukraine’s military on Monday shot down two more Russian warplanes used to drop highly destructive guided aerial bombs on Kyiv’s troops, the army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said.
Ukrainian forces, according to the country s air force chief Mykola Oleshchuk, reported shooting down two Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers and one Su-35 fighter over eastern Ukraine on February 17, 2024. The claim, made on Telegram, remains unverified by Reuters. If accurate, the loss to Moscow would exceed $100 million in advanced warplanes.
The company does not specify where plants that are hit by strikes are located, presumably to avoid giving up sensitive information about the location of Ukraine's critical infrastructure.
