Lull observed with Russia's military aviation on front line

0 min read

Russia's military aviation greatly reduced its activities near the front lines and national borders on July 28, Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat stated.    

Usually, Ukraine tracks 20-30 Russian airborne targets at once, but was only tracking two or three of them, he said. UAV activity on the front line was also greatly reduced.    

Nevertheless, there was a noontime air raid alert across Ukraine, in response to a Russian Tu-22M3 missile carrier being spotted in Russia's Bryansk Oblast near the Ukrainian border.

The all-clear was given after 10 minutes.

Russia failed to break Ukraine’s army on the battlefield, and now it’s trying to do it through a peace plan that would cap Ukraine’s forces at 600,000. Some argue that Ukraine would shrink its army — currently estimated at about 800,000 — after the war anyway.
