Warning Russian air force could become 'major factor' in Ukraine war

The Russian air force "could start to become a major factor" in the Ukraine conflict, an expert has told Forces News.

Airpower and military technology expert, Justin Bronk, is the lead author of a new report by defence think-tank RUSI which warns Ukraine is in danger of running out of the weapons it needs to combat Russian air attacks.

He told Forces News that if Ukrainian troops aren't supplied with additional air defence weapons then the Russian air force could have an impact "in a way that it just hasn't up to this point in the war".
