Ukraine outlines reasons for high aircraft loss rate

A lack of experience and training, as well as poor tactics and intelligence not being acted on are the primary reasons for losses being incurred by the Ukrainian Air Force in the restive east of the country, a senior service official noted on 19 November.
Speaking under the Chatham House Rule at the IQPC Fighter Conference in London, the officer said that these are the main factors behind the loss of 10 helicopters, nine combat aircraft, and three airlifters lost to separatist air defences to date.
In total, we have lost five Mi-8 ['Hip'] and five Mi-24 ['Hind'] helicopters; six Su-25 ['Frogfoot'], one Su-24 ['Fencer'], and two MiG-29 ['Fulcrum'] fighters; as well as one An-26 ['Curl'], one An-30 ['Clank'], and one Il-76 ['Candid'] transport aircraft. In my personal view, the reasons [behind these losses] are that in 23 years since independence we have never had to use our aircraft or pilots in combat before, and so there is no experience;
we have not given enough money to training; 【訓練經費不足】
our tactics have not always been the right ones; and intelligence of man-portable air defence systems [MANPADS] has not always been acted on," he said.
事實上,有一種二次大戰時已有的戰略:跳島戰略......基本上已經可以答到阿叔的問題.....
