From https://bulgarianmilitary.com | By Boyko Nikolov On Feb 23, 2024.
"Recent footage hitting the social media spectrum reveals a fiery aircraft assumed to be an A-50 Mainstay airborne early warning and control [AEW&C] plane, though the exact details are murky. Whether it was Ukrainian forces or Russian air defenses that brought it down is yet to be [determined]"
2. "Ukraine Says It Has Shot Down Another Russian A-50U Mainstay"
DAVID CENCIOTTI | February 23, 2024.
On Feb. 23, 2024, “as a result of a joint operation of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, another valuable Russian A-50U aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov”.
Comments:
* A second AWACS plane gone neither plentiful or cheap. Highly trained aircrew also hard to replace.
* A-50 working hand-in-glove with Russian S-400 air defense missile mid-range version. A-50 allowing for extended battlefield radar coverage.
* Again, the Ukrainian has some sort of air defense missile ground-based or air-to-air able to strike almost with impunity.
