Powerful blows fell on the Russian air force

“The Russian Air Force – VDV – has been heavily involved in a number of significant tactical defeats since the beginning of the Russian invasion. Attempts were made to attack Kiev via the Hostoml airport in March, halting progress on the Icy axis in April and the last successful and costly crossing of the Donets Sviersky River“- The ministry wrote in a daily intelligence update.

“Russian theory considers the inclusion of VVVs in the most demanding operations. The 45,000 WVD troops are mostly professional contract veterans who receive elite status and extra pay. Used in WDW missions, heavily armed infantry, and suffered heavy casualties during the campaign. “ – Reported in the message.

“Mixed results reflect the potential strategic mismanagement of this energy and the fact that Russia itself has failed to gain an aviation advantage. The misuse of the VVD in Ukraine shows that Putin’s significant investments in the armed forces over the past 15 years have led to an overall imbalance in the armed forces. Unexpected opposition to Ukraine and the complacency of Russian commanders led to significant losses in many elite Russian factions, “he added.
