Where are the remaining Ukrainian fighter jets hiding?

Ukrainian military aviation, it seems, is living out its last days - flights of aerobatic teams in colorful demonstration colors are already being pressed into battle. In two days of active "geraniuming" (using the "Geranium" UAV), there have been three confirmed Ukrainian combat aircraft losses: Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters (https://t.me/readovkanews/44166), (https://t.me/readovkanews/44190), as well as a Su-24MR reconnaissance plane (https://t.me/readovkanews/44164). The Su-24MR was lost in an attempt to identify Geranium drone launch sites. According to various estimates, Ukraine's current force is no more than 20 fighters. The daily loss of just one aircraft may soon lead to the complete destruction of Ukrainian combat aviation capability.

The current foundations of Ukrainian air defense aviation are Soviet MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters. It appears that since the appearance in Ukraine of Russian-Iranian Geraniums, the main task of these fighters has been to combat these so-called shahid-mopeds. This map of current bases, with estimates of Su-27 and MiG-29 ranges, was prepared by the analytical department of the Readovka holding, to assess current airspace coverage.

It is worth noting that the airfields in Mirgorod and Vasilkov were permanent bases for Ukrainian fighter brigades even before the start of the SMO. Nikolaev and Odessa have long also been used as temporary bases, however, the Kropyvnytskyi and Dolgintsevo airbases were reactivated after the start of the special operation. Today, both of these airfields are frontline bases, from which Ukrainian military aviation can reach the DPR and LPR.

As can be seen, the combat radius of AFU combat jets covers practically all of Ukraine, although effective engagement of Geraniums requires the fighters to be in the same place and time as the drone. For this to happen, the drone needs to be detected in advance which is very difficult to achieve. For that reason, the true interception radius may be reduced by at least 3-4 times.
