It will be a subject of intensive military study how TF Russia decided to destroy Ukrainian energy generation AFTER the Winter had passed
This is exactly what we need. Russia shooting down their own jets valued between $40 million and $80 million usd, and in about half the instances, killing their own pilots.Recent photos of UAC production plant. Multiple Su-35 and Su-57 being produced.
Russia could absolutely afford a few loss every few months
Andrew Perpetua's visually confirmed and geolocated losses for Russia and Ukraine, Wednesday, March 27th.
This is exactly what we need. Russia shooting down their own jets valued between $40 million and $80 million usd, and in about half the instances, killing their own pilots.
Everything they do that and are forced to build a replacement aircrafts, that's tens of millions of dollars that could be spent in other areas of the war that they are instead forced to spend to replace an aircraft.
Attrition is a must!
I'll show you some math, when the war completed 392 days, on March 22 last year, Shoigu stated that the VKS had already made 140,000 combat sorties which gives an average of 357 combat sorties per day. If VKS managed to maintain this pace today they must have already completed 272,000 combat sorties. Let's assume that Russia lost 15 aircraft to friendly fire, this would correspond to only 0.005% of the total number of combat sorties!This is exactly what we need. Russia shooting down their own jets valued between $40 million and $80 million usd, and in about half the instances, killing their own pilots.

Woland,Sorry, let me correct myself and elaborate:
The ~$15 billion assessment describes what Ukraine would realistically receive, both military and economic, in 2024.
Realistically HR 815 provides for:
Economic Aid to Ukraine: $8,249,000,000
Short Term Military Aid: $6,907,409,800
Long Term Military Aid (Not in 2024): $13,772,460,000
I have a spreadsheet which summarizes all of HR 815's financials, I sent it to you in PMs.
According to results Leopard 2A, Bradley M2 and M777howitzers are the workhorse and the stars of the battle.There is a popular misconception that Ukraine is quickly running out of Western supplied armor and artillery, but the reality is actually the opposite. Below is a snapshot of where Ukraine stands into terms of the "Western" supplied MBTs, IFVs, APCs and Artillery.
