Shoigu emphasized the significance of this achievement by comparing it to Ukraine's expected aircraft supply, saying, "37 aircraft is almost twice the number that is guaranteed to be supplied to Ukraine for F-16 aircraft. That is, with our air defense system operating this way, this is approximately 20 days of work."
