The Russian Air Force continues to use large resources to support ground operations in Ukraine, but without significant operational effectaccording to British military intelligence quoted by the BBC’s Russian service.
During the summer, Russian tactical aircraft usually carried out more than 100 flights per daybut due to the threat of Ukrainian air defenses, flights were almost always limited to territory controlled by Russiaaccording to the intelligence brief.
Russia is trying to solve this problem by increasingly using free-fall bombs with planning devices, which increase the range. Aircraft can drop such bombs many kilometers from the target, but the accuracy of the hit is not always good.
At the beginning of Ukraine’s advance to the south Russian attack helicopters were highly effective. However in recent weeks their effectiveness has decreasedaccording to British military intelligence.
