TL;DR

Ukraine's air force claims to have downed 14 Russian fighter jets in two weeks, including Su-34s and Su-35s, amid Russia's ground forces advancing westward in Ukraine. Despite Russia's larger and more advanced air force, the reported losses are significant, with Western assessments indicating territorial gains for Russia. The U.S. think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, suggests that Russia is willing to risk aviation losses to support its tactical advances in eastern Ukraine, potentially re-imposing air superiority around strategic areas.
