Yes but apparently not by the Air Force. Mostly by ground based missiles (and maybe some Ship based ones)

The No-Fly zone won't fix these and will come at a significant cost.

Enforcing the No-Fly zone actually means running SEAD missions to take care of those, including in russian territory. That's why it would bring WW3.

It is estimated that Russia performs 200 air raids a day - hence the relatively high number of aircraft shot down by the Ukrainians.

And to add some more perspective: Desert Storm started off with > 1000 sorties / day.
