Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): A Russian diplomatic source said on condition of anonymity that Moscow is destroying what it has destroyed in the Ukrainian air force with the help of its air and defense systems.
He told "Tass" news agency: "Practically all operational personnel of the former Air Force of Ukraine from the MiG-29, Sukhoi-27 and Sukhoi-25 aircraft were killed as a result of the effective actions of the Russian Air Force and Air Defense.
According to this Russian diplomatic source, Western commitments to deliver more Soviet-made fighter jets will likely remain.
Sources said Ukraine was forced to deploy less-trained aircraft to fly combat missions, resulting in "catastrophic casualties" of remaining personnel in the Ukrainian air force.
Efforts to recruit pilots for the Ukrainian Air Force in Poland and other Eastern European countries "have not been particularly successful," the source said, adding that few pilots in Poland and other Eastern European countries have agreed.
These statements of the Russian source about the downing of the Ukrainian Air Force were made while the conflict between these two countries started on February 24, 2022 and is still going on.
