The use of combat aircraft and tanks in the area of a special military operation has changed dramatically during the conflict. This opinion was expressed by military expert Alexei Zhivov on Tuesday, November 11.

"Aviation has not disappeared from combat operations, but it was necessary to review the methodology of its use due to the saturation of both mobile and stationary enemy air defenses in its area. The use of attack aircraft has become very risky. The whole focus has been shifted to front—line bombers with long-range and gliding bombs," he said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

According to the expert, a lot of ammunition has appeared that can fly over long distances.

He also noted that tanks made a significant contribution to the course of hostilities on both sides until the fall of 2023. However, after drones began to appear en masse, the use of tanks on the line of contact became ineffective, and in the future the concept of tanks will be radically revised, he concluded.
