The Ukrainian military achieves military results in difficult times, and why are Russian casualties rapidly increasing?
(Many Kuon: Novelist, military critic, former senior SDF official)
On December 22nd, three of Russia’s newest fighter-bombers, the Su-34, were shot down by the Ukrainian military over Russian-occupied territory in southern Ukraine. Three days later, on the 25th, one Su-34 was shot down over Mariupol and one Su-30SM was shot down over the Black Sea.
The five aircraft shot down were all new aircraft of the Su-27 family, and this was an extremely heavy loss for the Russian military. As a result of this damage, Russian military aircraft are currently reducing their activity in southern Ukraine. This is great news for the Ukrainian military, which has reportedly been in a difficult situation due to a lack of troops.
The shooting down of three Su-34s on December 22nd is reminiscent of the incident on May 13th, when multiple Su-34s, including Su-34s, were shot down over Bryansk, Russia. In fact, just like that time, this time too the Patriot surface-to-air missile (SAM) advanced close to the front lines and ambushed Russian military aircraft.
On the same day, it became possible to export Patriot bullets produced in Japan to the United States, and the United States, which had enough ammunition in its inventory, was able to supply Patriot bullets to Ukraine. It may seem as if the war results were aimed at political effects, but such a goal alone would not have been enough to produce such successive results in such a short period of time.
In this article, I would like to examine the reasons why so many cutting-edge Russian military aircraft were shot down in such a short period of time, focusing on the attack by the Patriot on December 22, which is relatively well-documented.
