Russian forces reportedly destroyed nine Ukrainian fighter jets in 24 hours, including strikes on Mirgorod airfield.
They claim to have intercepted Western-made missiles and numerous drones.
The attacks, involving Iskander-M missiles, damaged or destroyed several Su-27 and MiG-29 aircraft.
Russia also reports intercepting Storm Shadow missiles and downing a Bayraktar TB2 drone.
These losses are significant for Ukraine's air force, prompting Kyiv to request F-16 jets from Western allies to counter Russia's air superiority and potentially strike deep into Russian territory.
