Allies inform Ukraine about the takeoff of Russian strategic aviation – Ihnat
Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat said that Western partners provide Ukraine with information about Russian strategic aviation taking off from distant airfields.
He said this during a telethon.
– “Our allies support Ukraine all the time. Our partners provide us with information about the takeoff of strategic aviation from distant airfields, long-range aviation, and other data,” he said in a statement.
Ihnat noted that this information is extremely useful and is used for the country’s defense.
According to the Air Force spokesperson, Ukraine has a wide range of radar equipment in service with the Radio Technical Troops.
– “They are not mentioned much, but along with the Air Defense Missile Forces, Air Force aviation and other components, there are radio technical troops that are the eyes of the Air Force and monitor the air situation inside and outside the country 24/7,” he added.
Earlier, the UK Ministry of Defense reported that during the coup attempt in Russia, Wagner PMC mercenaries shot down a very valuable Il-22M aircraft, of which the Russians have no more than 12, and the loss of even one is likely to have a negative impact on Russian air and ground operations.
