Fly Low, Get Aggressive—How Ukrainian Pilots Fought The Russian Air Force To A Standstill forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2022/11/12/fly-low-get-aggressive-how-ukrainian-pilots-fought-the-russian-air-force-to-a-standstill/?sh=35c2911b2741 "“The long range of the R-37M, in conjunction with the very high performance and high operating altitude of the MiG-31BM also allows it significant freedom to menace Ukrainian aircraft near the front lines from outside the range of Ukrainian defenses,” the RUSI team wrote.It’s telling that, of the 60 fixed-wing planes the Russians have lost in the war, just one was a MiG-31—and it accidentally crashed. But the R-37M isn’t foolproof, and not every missile hits. The MiG-31s are bleeding the Ukrainian air force, but—so far—not fatally. The Ukrainian air force since February has written off 51 fixed-wing planes. Proportionally, Ukraine’s losses are much steeper than Russia’s are. But the Ukrainian air force still is flying and fighting—making up with aggression and creativity what it lacks in numbers and high technology."
