i dont know about Ukraine. but just look at Syria. Su-24 never used that low. only Su-25.
The airborne assault landed, but the Ukrainian AF was somehow still active. Then the Il-76s transporting heavy equipment failed to show up due to fears of interception. Ground units had to fight with minimal support and is outnumbered.
At least that's what I think happened.
To be fair, the Russians seem to be quite restrained with their ground advances. One grad salvo would do much more damage to an airfield than PGMs.
How do we know that's not Russian Su-24 striking Ukrainian infantry?
The picture is taken from the Ukranian side right? Well, it looks like that's where the bombs are striking.
That doesn't look like an "air battle", both of those aircraft are on the same side, they aren't engaging each other.
How do we know those aren't Russian Mig 29s?
At this rate they gonna lose more people than PRC in 1979 sino Vietnamese war. Or Russia decided to fight a 1996 war in 2022.
The Russians do not need to use guided munitions for stationary targets of small value, it would be enough to use the unguided munitions that the Russians manage to have a CEP a little higher than the performance of a guided munition, this would not affect the performance of the Russian air force so much. It's a system they put on fighter jets and that system is being used in Syria to give unguided munitions improved accuracy.
I'm sure the stockpile of unguided munitions is large enough to attack low value targets in Ukraine, leaving the use of guided munitions for higher value targets. So far, it appears that the Su-34 aircraft are on the ground and have not taken off from their forward base in Voronezh at any point in the 24 hours. Not to mention that in this same base, the 10 of the 18 Su-24s that were from the Crimean base are also positioned next to the Su-34s.
