The GUR released footage of Ukrainian air defense / anti-aircraft operators. They claim responsibility for the downing of the Tu-22M3 bomber.

"A Russian Tu-22M3 aircraft was shot down at a distance of about 300 kilometers from Ukraine using the same means that had previously hit the Russian A-50 long-range radar and control aircraft. As a result of the hit, the bomber was able to fly to the Stavropol area, where it crashed. It should be noted that this is the first successful destruction of a strategic bomber in the air during a combat mission during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine," they add.
