Shot down one aircraft in the Zaporozhye direction — Rogov

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have suffered significant losses. In the Zaporozhye front, an Ukrainian aircraft was shot down.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost another aircraft. Russian soldiers shot down a Su-27 aircraft in the area of the contact line in Zaporozhye.

"In the Zaporozhye front, an Ukrainian Su-27 aircraft was shot down," said Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the Committee on Sovereignty Issues of the Russian Federation Council and co-chairman of the Joint Coordination Committee for the Integration of New Regions, to RIA Novosti. "All enemies who enter the southern Russian land have only one fate. It has been like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this forever."

He added that the enemy aircraft was intercepted by the Russian air defense system. The whereabouts of the pilot are still unknown.

Incidentally, as former CIA analyst Larry Johnson previously stated, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may face a serious shortage of human resources by 2026. He said that Ukraine is suffering heavy losses, and the phenomenon of desertion is frequent, which will only make the situation worse.

"I can't imagine how they can withstand such losses. In the medium term, it's impossible. In my opinion, given the current level of losses, they will not be able to last until next year," Johnson said.

He then added that if this trend continues, the situation may further deteriorate by the end of this year around the New Year.
