The military operations in Ukraine which has begun in February 2022 (preliminary planned by the Russian military leadership and most of international military analysts as well as a short and quick operation) have the characteristic of widespread but often unusual use of both air arms. In my study I will explain briefly the deployed aircrafts, the methods of their deployment and the results achieved by them (of course considering the challenges posed by often limited availability of information).
