Reports keep coming in of another shootdown of o Russian (duck) Su-34 fighter bomber. However, the war machine keeps marching on in Ukraine despite massive losses (multiple Su-34s & few A-50 AWACS). Russia can afford to let its guard down, especially now that Kyiv has less than 100 planes. It is also b'cos Russian aerial battlefield interdiction strikes have contributed immensely to its creeping incursion into the separatist Donbas, & capture of Avdiivka is a part of their Russia pattern.
Russia has lost several Su-34s and two A-50U Airborne Warning Control System (AWACS) since January. Moscow needs localized air superiority to push border as far to West & create a buffer zone that ensures NATO & West-friendly Ukraine remains further away from internationally recognized Russian territory.
