Planefall: 14 Ru Planes Down in Two Weeks. S-200 or 'Wandering Patriot?' - The Gaze

Russia gained air superiority by deploying Su-34 to the front, and 14 of them are down in just 2 weeks! Experts argue if this is the result of S-200 or 'Patriot' air defence in action. Maybe Ukraine already has an F-16... Nevertheless, the 'planefall' continues, with Russian pilots probably not so eager to enter our airspace again.
