In the 1967 Middle East war, the Israeli air force destroyed several hundred Egyptian and Syrian planes on the ground because they were out in the open on airfields. The Egyptians and Syrians learned the lesson and, with Soviet help, built concrete hangers and shelters for their planes. This was very successful, and in the 1973 war, Israeli air strikes on these planes were almost completely ineffective. Since today’s Russians and Ukrainians are the descendants of the Soviets who helped the Arab air forces build those concrete shelters, clearly they know how to protect planes on the ground. SO WHY THE FUCK are both the Russians and Ukrainians leaving their planes out in the open three years into a war where many planes on both sides have been destroyed on the ground?

Both countries don't put a lot of emphasis on their airforces. I'm not sure how you imagine a suitable shelter for parked aircraft should look like. But I suppose it would have to be rather big, considering how large these Soviet aircraft are. And it would have to be sturdy enough to shield the aircraft from drones and cluster ammunition. The constraint may not be the cost in money, but how many construction crews are needed, that could otherwise build fortifications for the land forces, which seem to be more important for both countries.

Hardened shelters are expensive. In 1999, a hardened shelter [HAS] for a single aircraft would have cost the USAF $4 million, and this would not have included the cost of building hardened shelters for aircraft spare parts and other equipment, command and control etc. At that time, the likelihood of a direct hit was minimal. Nowadays, the liklihood of a direct hit is very high. The HAS is at a fixed, easily identifiable position. Satellite surveillance enables aircraft movements in and out of shelters to be monitored.

I gave that some thought, Weeb, and my take is that the fighters are hidden when not in use (not sure where, but obviously not in hangars, as you're getting at). But they have to eventually surface before attacking, and for that short time they are exposed, so they look like sitting ducks even though lots of people are prepping them, and they are sitting ducks at that time, but only for a relatively small period until they take off. So, the high-altitude drone footage tells me that the airfield was being watched, likely for hours, until enough fighters had surfaced and were being prepped for flight, and then WHACK!

[@off6848]

Soviet/Russian designed planes work very differently that Western Designs, and this is part of why you do not see shelters built. The Russian design places an emphasis on the ability to operate on and out of a primitive airbase. Actual air intake while taxing is not under the aircraft wing, but above it. This has the very large advantage of greatly reducing debris that can be sucked into the engine. Western designed aircraft need a pristine airfield in order to operate. We walk the entire runway twice a day, looking for the smallest stone or stick, because that can destroy our aircraft. A disadvantage of an above wing intake, is getting enough airflow in a restrictive space, such as a protective shelter. This was not seen as an issue with design, because it was assumed that satellite surveillance would allow any attackers to know which shelters were being used and which were not, and that would be true for both sides. If the satellites were knocked out, then the Russian designs ability to operate on less than pristine airfields would give them an advantage. The Russians, in this war, could build taxing devices to move their aircraft in and out of shelters, and the Ukrainians do not have satellite capabilities, but the Russians are operating under the assumptions, that the US and NATO are providing this satellite capability. Remember, even without drones, there is no airbase in the Ukraine where the Russians are not constantly keeping it under satellite surveillance. They would know which hangers are occupied and which are not. Each side keeps pulling their bases farther back from the front, because both sides have become very good at shotting down incoming cruise missiles, so attacks on the airbases is more effectively done by drones now. As drone technology, and especially armament, improves, the game of moving airbases will become increasingly common. Each side is taking actions when there are improvements in tech.

Weeb isn’t talking about hangars. He’s talking about aircraft shelters which would cover individual spots on a flightline. They do work, and the US used them (and still does) on OCONUS USAF bases. The idea that drones, at least in 2024, are constantly surveying every airfield is nonsense. Perhaps that may be the case in the future, but not now.

How to be sure the aircrafts are not dummy aircrafts to trick the enemy ?

[@Zamerika-xr8nt]

FPV drones confirmed the target before the strike.

[@off6848]

Because we know they were actively bombing with French HAMER bombs in that vicinity earlier in the day Which means they were pulled out of shelters into active combat

You should consider that they *are* building shelters - possibly disguised as other buildings - and that the planes being struck are decoys deliberately placed to attract attacks. I'm not saying that has happened every time, but the use of decoys has been extensive. They also may have been relying on the fact that the Russian recon drones either couldn't travel that far or that air defenses were previously shooting them down.

[@off6848]

They have shelters and no these jets were tracked returning to base after dropping HAMER bombs on volchansk What you’re suggesting would only work if you just never used your aircraft which is dumb You can’t get around the fact that if your bombing the enemy they now know you have birds high and you have to return somewhere they wait for them to land and blow them up

Zelensky is worse for ukraine than sadaam was to Iraq

[@annguyenlehoang7779]

[@StuartDevine]

If you can see a jet on a military airfield it’s probably a dummy target
