British intelligence believes that the russian air force, due to bad winter weather and many other problems, will keep the number of ground attacks low against Ukrainian forces. This was supported by the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter, noting that “in recent months, the number of flights of Russian fighter aircraft over Ukraine has significantly decreased. Today, Russian aircraft are likely to make dozens of departures a day, while in March 2022 their number has reached 300 a day”.
Russia has already lost more than 60 aircraft in the conflict, including possibly Su-24M fighter-bombers and Su-25 attack aircraft last week. The reduction in the number of departures is likely a result of the continued high threat from Air Defense Forces, limiting the number of flight hours available to Russian aircraft and worsening weather”.
“Because Russian ground attack tactics rely largely on visual identification and unguided munitions, the Russian Air Force is likely to maintain a low level of ground attack during the winter period,” London Intelligence concludes. “.
“Russia has missiles and more artillery, but it lacks something we have: the motivation to fight for freedom,” he said. Volodymyr Zelensky in yesterday’s evening speech, explaining that “we are defending our home, and this gives us the strongest motivation. We fight for freedom, and this always multiplies any strength. We defend the truth, and this unites the whole world around Ukraine “.
According to the Ukrainian president, “to get through this winter, Ukrainians need to help each other, take care of each other even more. Please don’t ask if you can help or how, help when you see you can. We must not allow internal conflicts and quarrels that can weaken us all”.
