❗️Russian rescuers reported that the Su-35 pilot was drifting “face down” in the Sea of Azov. And the Cospas-Sarsat system again tells where to look for the crew of the Su-34.

We continue to work!

    This is awesome to read. Anyone know why so many planes recently, new tactics/equipment?

      I assume they moved a Patriot system closer to the front line, or the FrankenSAM project with an S-300 missile launcher and Patriot radar.

        But why would the Russians continue to operate in that sector? Is this the same region the last ones went down? They probably can’t afford to keep losing their equipment and pilots like that.

          They need the air support. If the hypothesis is that a patriot battery was moved, they may think that it is risky to do so, so Ukraine wouldn’t do it too much, because the more they do it, the more exposed the battery will be to drone strikes.

          Which makes me suspect it might be f16 or new missiles and radar on an old plane.
