Ukrainian Air Force have survived in some form, and supporting ground forces.
Ukrainian pilots admit that Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) is vastly superior and operating in nighttime conditions. There is also a significant threat of Russian A2/AD assets in the region.
How Ukrainian pilots are conducting missions in the face of such overwhelming odds is a mystery in itself - really impressive.
The pilot (JUICE) mentioned - if WE had F-15s.... Poor man.
He also admitted that many Ukrainians were not expecting a major Russian assault - the LACK of ALERT resulted in significant losses.
This war will provide lot of stories and lessons in time.
