On Monday, Ukraine’s military shot down two more Russian warplanes, which were used to drop highly destructive guided aerial bombs on Kyiv’s troops, said army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi.
The destroyed planes were an Su-34 fighter-bomber and a Su-35 fighter, Syrskyi said on Telegram, not disclosing the area where they were downed. At the weekend, Ukraine said it shot down three Russian Su-34s and one Su-35 in the eastern skies.
“In just three days, the enemy lost six aircraft,” Oleksandr Pavliuk, Ukraine’s new ground forces chief, said on Telegram on Monday.
Moscow has aerial superiority over Kyiv, but Ukraine is using Western air defense systems to counter that.
Kyiv accuses Moscow of hitting civilian targets using Su-34s, in particular in the southern Kherson region, as well as attacking Ukraine’s front lines. Russia has denied deliberately targeting civilians, although many have been killed in its strikes.
