Although Russia has long claimed to have obtained absolute air supremacy on the Ukrainian battlefield, it is the current Ukrainian fighter jets that are constantly taking off to fight in the air. Faced with Ukrainian , Russia is also feeling helpless. At present, Russia is constantly using a large number of air defense weapons and air control fighters to destroy Ukrainian fighters. Since Ukraine still has a large amount of remaining air defense firepower, the losses of Russian fighter jets on the Ukrainian battlefield have always been at a high level. In the past weekend, the Ukrainian military claimed that at least 9 manned fighter jets from the Russian army had been shot down continuously, including as many as 4 Russian Su-30SM fighters. However, the authenticity of Ukraine's record is quite difficult to judge, because Ukraine has indeed disclosed the video footage of shooting down Su-30SM fighters, but it is still a question mark whether there are really four Su-30SM fighters shot down.
Today's Ukraine is quite crazy and arrogant on the battlefield, because Ukraine has received continuous support from the United States' weapons and equipment. There are signs that the United States' C17 strategic transport aircraft has just arrived in Europe with as many as 36 AGM-88 Hamm anti-radiation missiles, and these AGM-88 Hamm anti-radiation missiles will also arrive in Ukraine by land. As a US-made missile, the AGM-88 Hamm anti-radiation missile cannot be mounted on the Soviet-made fighter jet at all. Therefore, the Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet and the Su-27 fighter jet must also undergo a lot of transformations to complete the launch of the AGM-88 Hamm anti-radiation missile, including the transformation of the aircraft's avionics system and missile mounts.
According to a news report by Russian media, Russia had destroyed two Ukrainian fighter jets in succession on September 25, and these two Ukrainian fighter jets were destroyed in the Nikolayev Prefecture of southern Ukraine. It is understood that these two MiG29 fighters are all modified MiG29 fighters and can complete the launch of the AGM-88 Ham anti-radiation missile. The results of Russia's disclosure also surprised the outside world. How did Russia know that these two MiG29 fighters have been transformed? The only explanation is that when these two MiG29 fighters were shot down, they were also equipped with AGM-88 Hamm anti-radiation missiles under the wings, so it was proved that the modified MiG29 fighter was shot down.
Although the Ukrainian army is currently constantly using AGM-88 Ham anti-radiation missiles to launch a challenge to Russia, in fact, the success rate of these AGM-88 Ham anti-radiation missiles on the Ukrainian battlefield is not high. The reason why these AGM-88 Ham anti-radiation missiles are not high is that on the one hand, the flight speed of this type of missile is slow, and Russia can use air defense weapons such as Beech for interception. On the other hand, it is because Soviet aircraft and US missiles cannot be fully universal in avionics systems, so the success rate of missiles is quite low.
Russia successfully destroyed two MiG29 fighter jets that were modified and able to launch US-made missiles, which undoubtedly gave the United States a loud slap in the face, because the Himas high-motorized rocket launcher shells provided by the United States to Ukraine were also intercepted continuously.
