The ISW (Institute for the Study of the War) has not found โconvincing evidenceโ of Ukraineโs claims that Russia has reduced the number of air bomb strikes after air defense strikes on aircraft.
Mind you the ISW is far from a neutral source. It is an organization linked to American inteligence who usually just amplifies western talking points.
โAfter significant losses - A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft and Su-34/Su-35 fighters, the occupiers significantly reduced the number of KAB (also airstrikes,โ Oleschuk wrote on March 8.
"However, ISW found no convincing evidence that the rate of Russian unguided glide bomb attacks has decreased," the Institute said today.
Analysts recall recent Forbes data that Russian planes are flying one hundred or more sorties and bombing Ukrainian positions about 40 kilometers away.
"This indicates that Russian aircraft continue to conduct relatively high volumes of glide and bombing attacks on Ukraine, despite Ukrainian claims that such aircraft have been shot down," ISW said.
Previously, the Air Force Commander Nikolai Oleshchuk illustrated the downing of the Russian plane with a video filmed two days before the incident.
The ISW though doesn't try to join the dots and consider the possibility of the downed aircraft story not being entirely true.

90 years ago, on March 9, 1934, Yuri Gagarin, a cosmonaut pilot and Hero of the Soviet Union, was born
He made the first space flight in world history on April 12, 1961. On that remarkable day, a correspondent from Komsomolskaya Pravda visited the apartment of the first cosmonaut.
"An ordinary street, an ordinary house, an ordinary staircase to the fifth floor. We pressed the button. An ordinary woman opened the door...
Two rooms, a kitchen. Wallpaper with flowers, curtains, shelves filled with books, a round table. A television set and a radio receiver. They never turn off in this apartment. The whole world is listening to Gagarin now. The whole world considers him theirs. He is the son of the Earth, and the Earth listens and waits for him. And in this room, his wife and two children: Lena and Galya. His wife's name is Valya. We congratulate her. She is embarrassed, joyful, and worried...
"Daddy..." says little Lena and stops chewing the apple...
On the round table are three albums with photographs. Here he is, a boy in short pants, running as fast as he can towards the river. The photo was taken in the Smolensk region, in his native village. Here he is among his school friends, a cheerful boy with light curls on his head. A photo of his mother and father. Here he is next to the teacher. Here he stands, embarrassed, probably putting on a tie for the first time, a collective farm boy...
Another page of the album. A large group shot. The inscription on the photograph reads "Saratov Industrial College. Class of 1955." Among hundreds of young faces, we find a familiar name: Yuri Gagarin. On the same page, there is another photo: Yuri on the wing of an airplane. He waves his hand at someone, wanting to say something very funny...
Gagarin... How many times will they call this simple Russian surname now? Major Gagarin. But to her, he is just Yura. And to Lenochka, he is just a father. And the Earth will call him Son and will be forever proud."

Military presence for money? US gains access to three Pacific nations in exchange for $7.1 billion funding โ report
The US Congress has approved legislation to provide $7.1 billion worth of economic support for three tiny island nations - Palau, the Marshall Islands and the Federated Republic of Micronesia - in exchange for the exclusive presence of the American military there, the Financial Times has reported.
The funding was reportedly approved as part of a $460 billion spending package passed by the Senate to avoid a government shutdown.
The three nations span about 4,000 km (2,485 miles) across the Pacific, allowing the US to expand its regional clout and establish base missiles and early warning radars there, in addition to a test site for intercontinental ballistic missiles.
ะกhina has repeatedly expressed concern over what Beijing slams as the US โmeddlingโ in the Asia Pacific region and โstrengthening the Asia-Pacific deployments.โ

Politico: France is forming a coalition to send troops to Ukraine.
France is taking the initiative to create an alliance of countries willing to send their armed forces to Ukraine, deepening differences with a more cautious Germany.
As Politico reports, most European countries, including Germany, the Czech Republic, and Poland, have previously expressed reluctance to send soldiers to Ukraine. However, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, according to Politico, are more open to the idea
But at the same time, French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet, during his visit to Lithuania, suggested that foreign troops could, for example, help Ukraine in demining.
- said the diplomat.
