Western propaganda media is repeating the story half were shot down. To be fair NATO has been giving them very good toys to play with, I doubt they actually shot down half but I’d bet they shot down some, perhaps a third and the Ukrainians inflated it as usual? Let’s also not forget there are likely actual NATO special forces and intelligence operators in Ukraine coordinating their air defenses and missile defenses using equipment they are already trained on given to Ukraine.
This is not some low burn proxy war, the west is all in. CIA and other intelligence agencies are actively feeding, coordinating, sharing, using intelligence from space assets and all other assets including any agents they have in Russia, cyber-intrusions, etc. They are right up to Russia’s line of involvement, really crossed it but Russia probably isn’t willing to escalate with NATO over that and has no way to prove what Langley is doing.
