The commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykola Oleshchuk, published a photo of a Su-25 aircraft with Zuni missiles, which the United States promised to transfer to Kyiv. Military Watch Magazine, citing "secret documents from the US Department of Defense," reported that the Pentagon is concerned that Ukraine risks being left without air defense systems by May 23.
The article notes that this will allow the troops of the Russian Armed Forces to more actively use aviation to support the ground forces.
