So how many jets do they have left ?
- Too many
- It's weird how little the news covers Ukraine. I feel like I know very little about what's going on there, other than daily posts of <x> units of <y> destroyed.
  
  There's very little changing day to day at this point in the war.
  
  It’s also winter.
  
  There are daily updates on many channels on YouTube if you want to keep up.
- A lot!
  
  Oh you mean airworthy? Huh ...
Not to be a downer but how credible are these numbers? Aircraft is particularly prone to overclaiming, which is why for example Russia claims they have destroyed more jets than Ukraine had to begin with.
- We have visual confirmation on two of the six. One with the tail floating in the water and another going down in a big fireball. That is a higher ratio of visual confirmation than you normally get with aircraft due to them being quite far away when shot, so make of that what you will.
  
  That's pretty cool, guess we may be getting better data sooner or later. I'm assuming if they shot them down with patriot, there's logs for that which will be released at some point
