According to the Ukrainian military, air activity in the Kherson region has decreased after the destruction of three aircraft
With the Kherson region under Russian fire since dawn on Monday morning, Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat told Ukrainian television that airstrikes in the area had “decreased.” He also announced that the armed forces had destroyed three Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bombers and condemned false Russian rumors that a “wandering patriot” was still active.
“We will never make public how, where or in which area we destroyed the air targets. What the enemy thinks, he thinks, he thinks, writes about a “wandering patriot” (…), let him believe. Let them believe that a Patriot and possibly another long-range complex could fly in one direction, tomorrow in another, and then another. »
“The enemy must always be kept on tenterhooks. As a result, they will carry out their actions less boldly, with less strength and resources. This happened after the destruction of three Su-34s [lundi matin] “The enemy in the Kherson region is no longer conducting active hostilities, as he understands that there may be a trap for him there,” he added, according to comments from Ukrainian media.
According to Mr. Ignat, Russian forces are now trying to figure out what caused their Su-34 jets to crash. Russian drones have a reconnaissance mission and therefore have to be destroyed, the spokesman reminded.
