A Ukrainian pilot described his struggle against much more powerful Russian aviation.
The pilot told The Sunday Times about the limited impact that Ukraine's outdated gear can have.
"The Russian jets are much better quality than ours," Maksym told The Times.
A top British air force general, Chief Marshal of British Air Staff Rich Knighton, told a conference in London last week that Russia's air force "remains largely intact."
Citing British intelligence, Knighton said that Russia's air force had retained 96% of its 2,021 fixed-wing aircraft and 90% of its 899 helicopters, with losses of 86 planes and 90 helicopters.
