💥 Another Russian A-50U aircraft, a valuable asset for the aggressor state, was shot down over the Sea of Azov in a joint operation by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The downed A-50U is a newly modernized Russian version of the aircraft, serving as an air command post for long-range radar detection and control, as well as guidance for strikes on Ukraine using missiles from strategic aviation.

The aircraft experienced a sharp decrease in speed and altitude near the city of Yeisk.

The cost of such an aircraft, of which the aggressor state possesses only a few, is estimated at 350 million dollars.
