💥 Minus A-50U - GUR and the Air Force shot down another Russian plane
🤝 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.
❌ The destroyed A-50U is a new modernized Russian version of the aircraft.
✔️ This is an air command post that the aggressor state used for long-range radar detection, control and guidance for strikes on Ukraine with missiles from strategic aviation.
🔥 The downing of the A-50U is another serious blow to the potential and capabilities of terrorist Moscow.
📍 A sharp drop in speed and height of the downed A-50U aircraft was recorded near the city of Yeisk.
⚡️ The cost of such a vessel, of which the aggressor state has a few units left, is 350 million dollars.
🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!
Another thread says it was a PAC-3, but I don’t know the range.
I think the most common rumor is that they indeed use the long range missiles of the German Patriot system, which is, unlike the other ones, mounted directly on a truck, making it fairly mobile. This could allow Ukraine to quickly get it set up close to the front, shoot her shot and then quickly get the fuck out again. Though I feel they probably might also get good intel from inside Russia to match potential “meeting points”. Either that or Russia is even more incompetent than we thought.
