TL;DR

The Ukrainian air force has reportedly shot down six Russian fighter-bombers, including four Sukhoi Su-34s and two Su-35s, in just three days using their dwindling supply of Patriot air-defense missiles. This high rate of loss for the Russian air force is unsustainable, with 95 jets lost since February 2022 and a recent rate of 60 per month. However, the Ukrainian stock of Patriots is dropping to a critical level, potentially impacting their capacity to continue shooting down Russian warplanes.
