< strong _ngcontent-sc199>The British Ministry of Defense reported that Russian aircraft were likely to be transferred to airfields more distant from the front line. The reason was Russia's alleged fear of new potential attacks by drones and missiles.

On air 24 Channels aviation expert Bogdan Dolintse explained whether the effectiveness of Russian aerospace forces will change after the relocation.

Actions Russian aviation will become more predictable

The fleet of Russian military aviation, which today is quite actively used by the Russians, in particular the Su-34, Su-35, Su-30, has a large combat radius actions. Under different conditions, it can be from 700 to 1500 kilometers.

Relocation to more distant airfields is unlikely to affect the reduction or intensity of the use of Russian military aviation. However, this could lead to Russian air strikes or launches becoming more predictable. After all, they can be detected earlier and there will be more time to prepare for such raids,” Dolintse said.

According to him, changing the location of Russian aviation is certain measures to prepare for the appearance of F-16 aircraft in the Ukrainian sky, because the fighters will have a greater range of destruction of air targets. Also, relocation is one of the means to protect these aircraft from future defeat in Russian airspace.

What could be the reason for the fear of Russians

National Security Advisor to the President of the United States Jacob Sullivan officially stated that Ukraine can use the air defense systems provided to it to attack Russian aircraft that are located on Russian territory. According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already resorted to this practice.
