Retired Lt. Gen. David San Clemente asserted that, "Normally turbulent weather conditions give preference to guns, in terms of air operations"; According to Fox News.
According to forecasts, Ukraine will experience snowfall this week, which may affect weather operations; It gives Ukraine an important opportunity and an advantage.
Clemente added that Russian fixed-wing attack aircraft will have great difficulty avoiding the terrain, identifying targets, and ensuring the absence of friendly fire during attack operations, with poor visibility of less than two miles.
Clemente revealed that “the Ukrainian forces are aware; Not only with the terrain, but also with what she can and cannot get away with, when the weather becomes turbulent.
Clemente emphasized that the defender knows the terrain better than the attacker, so he has the advantage. This same rule applies to attack helicopters.
"Many of Ukraine's surface-to-air missiles are guided by radar, and are not affected by the weather, which makes it difficult for the Russians," Clemente added.
He continued, "If Russian planes need to approach targets due to poor visibility, they become vulnerable to SAMs, which are guided primarily by infrared radiation."
"The Russians also have guided weapons, just like the United States, so they will not be affected by bad weather when targeting a fixed location," Clemente noted.
