Duh hiyo fighter jet tu kwasababu ya upaaji wake wa juu Sana si rahisi kutunguliwa kwa Manpads. I'la drone na helicopter Ni rahisi kutunguliwa na Manpads.
Tatizo hujapitia hata jkt boss wangu
Wewe nae unachekesha
Fighter jet za Russia huko Ukraine zinaruka chinichini kukwepa Long Range air defenses kama S-300,zikija chini zinakutana na MANPADS. Ndege mfano Su-25 ni maalum Kwa Close Air Support,unakuta inakua shabaha kwa Manpads sababu inaruka chinichini. Kama ulipita huko JKT halafu hujui vitu vyepesi kama hivi bhas ulienda kupoteza muda.
Pitia hii article hapa chini uone marubani wa Russia wanavyolalamika kuhusu hizo Manpads.

As Bombs Rained Down, Ukrainian Troops Set A Trap For Russia’s Pilots

The problem, for the Russian crews, was altitude. Flying high was out of the question owing to all those Ukrainian S-300s. Flying at medium altitude was problematic, too, as Ukrainian Buk crews spread out across the battlefield, switching on their radars just long enough to lob missiles at Russian planes before the crews rolled their launchers into some treeline to hide.
The Buk isn’t a new system. The first models entered service with Soviet forces back in 1980. Ukraine’s hundred or so Buks are Soviet leftovers. But the Buk is a self-contained, reliable system. And the Ukrainians have improved them—and equipped their crews with tablets running digital maps showing the locations of Russian forces.
The Buks shot down so many Russian planes that Russian pilots “were forced to abandon flying at medium or high altitudes when penetrating Ukrainian air space,” according to the RUSI study. They dove low—directly into a trap.
That trap was the thousands of man-portable air-defense systems that Ukraine had received from its foreign allies. A Stinger MANPADS might range just five miles or so. But the sheer density of Stingers and other MANPADS along the front made low flying only slightly less deadly for Russian pilots than medium or high flying.
There was nowhere for the Russians to go to escape Ukrainian missiles. “The results were predictable, with at least eight assorted [Sukhoi] Su-25, Su-30 and Su-34 jets being shot down by MANPADS in a week,” Bronk, Reynolds and Watling wrote.
