Russia has resorted to using its own regular aviation with Su-34 aircraft, as “aircraft artillery”. Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine – 22 November 2024. Find out more about Defence Intelligence’s use of language: The main factor that changed the nature of the collision in the air was drones. Their use gives Russia the time to restore the long-distance aviation capabilities and renew stocks of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. The anti-aircraft forces For Ukraine’s anti-aircraft defence the situation is becoming increasingly complex and tense. Russia, combining drones and long-distance aviation, is constantly attacking critical Ukrainian infrastructure and air bases. During winter British espionage expects this tactic to continue, as “Russia tries to bend the will of the Ukrainian people”. Ukraine also successfully uses aggressive drones. In mid and late September it hit four strategic ammunition depots over hundreds of kilometres of Ukrainian territory, which caused “the largest loss of Russian and North Korean ammunition” during the war, writes British military intelligence, without its usual reservations. This also suggests that the Russian anti-aircraft defence system was unable to protect strategically important military facilities from Ukrainian drones.
