Russian AF in Syria,
Reading it these days
reliable mag ofc, confirm another Russian airstrikes are not very effective, despite help but much sorties required.
In fact use cheap weapons in big qty.
Much free fall bombs used and poor accuracy for LGB some missed their targets at least 50 up to 100 m !
often up to 3 airstrikes necessary for destroy the target .
Also crew training deficient for these A2G missions
In fact Russia since end USSR does not get accurate PGM in contrast to Western countries coz a litlle budget during 20 years... and free fall bombs are USSR stock some have morever painting damaged.
Only exception the Su-34 which get a large A2 loadout and have anew internal designator pod.
And worse for Syrian AF a time after 3 airstrikes the target is not detroyed ! and finaly Su-34 finish the job !
Now deployed
17 Su-24M, 7 Su24MR/recc, 14 Su-25, 4 Su-30SM, 10 Su-34, 12 Mi-24, 5 Mi-8AMTSh.
from now on.
