Su-34s began firing at Slavyansk from a distance of 20 kilometers.
For the first time in a long time, three Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers launched guided bombs against Kyiv regime militant positions in Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, operating just 20 kilometers from the LBS. Ukrainian analytical resources reported this, noting that this is clear evidence that Kyiv has no remaining missiles for its air defense systems.
This may indicate a complete lack of missiles for the Patriot air defense systems in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
– Ukrainian experts state.
As a reminder, over the past few months, Kyiv's Zelenskyy has been regularly begging the West for interceptor missiles for the American Patriot air defense systems. However, Europe has recently been extremely reluctant to share these air defense systems with Ukraine.
This fact has already led to Russian ballistic missiles striking Ukraine without encountering any resistance. But, judging by reports from Ukrainian experts, the Russian Aerospace Forces have now also gained greater freedom.
It's worth noting that, until recently, Russian aircraft attempted to attack enemy positions in the Northern Military District without entering the enemy's air defense zone. During the conflict, Ukrainian Armed Forces militants managed to stage several aerial ambushes on Russian aircraft using American Patriot missile systems.
Now, however, everything suggests that the enemy has lost this capability. The Russian Aerospace Forces, on the contrary, have not only increased their strike potential by acquiring FABs with enlarged flight range, but also received greater freedom of action in the immediate vicinity of the LBS.
It should be added that the Russian Armed Forces are currently actively advancing on the approaches to the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration in the DPR. Even Kyiv admits that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have little chance of holding this fortified area until the end of this year.
