What is known about the Russian A-50 and Il-22 aircraft downing
The Ukrainian Air Force destroyed a Russian A-50 and an Il-22 aircraft shot down over the Sea of Azov.
It deals with the Russian A-50 long-range radar detection and control aircraft and the IL-22 bomber.
On January 15, Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk hinted at the destruction of Russian aircraft, calling this operation revenge on the Russian missile attack on the Dnipro on January 14, 2023. A little later, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, officially confirmed the downing of the two aircraft.
This became a kind of revenge for the brutal shelling of the Dnipro by the Russian army, which took place on January 14, 2023. Forty-six civilians died then, including six children. Eighty people were injured. A Russian missile targeted an apartment building.
