A Ukrainian fighter pilot callsight “Juice” gave an interview to CNN.

He said that Russia is trying to gain an advantage in Ukrainian airspace, but is suffering heavy losses.

“Russians have a lot of loss — losses, and they have a fear of our air defense,” Juice said. “So they couldn’t fly here just comfortable for them.”

According to Juice, he is sitting just near the aircraft or just in the cockpit and his colleagues from the radar units, they’re just giving him the information about targets, and he is taking off and intercepting these threats.

Juice said that Ukrainians are waiting for new weapons that will help them gain an advantage in the air:

“We need efficient ground air defense systems,” Juice said, “and we need some other fighter jets to gain the air superiority to fight effectively against these threats.”

The Ukrainian pilot said that he and others are ready to continue their defense against Russia’s war of aggression:
“All of us are ready to fight, just with our jets, with our guns, even just in the fields with rifles. But we need tools, effective tools, to do this efficiently.”
