The loss of the A-50 detection and command aircraft, which the Ukrainian army announced on Monday had been destroyed the previous day over the Sea of ​​Azov, may prompt Russian forces to reconsider the way this type of device is used, and estimate its size. Intelligence services of the British Ministry of Defence.

“On 14 January 2024, a Russian A-50 Mainstay, an airborne detection and surveillance aircraft, exploded and subsequently crashed in the western Sea of ​​Azov. Meanwhile, a Russian Il-22M Coot-B aircraft was damaged but landed at a nearby Russian airfield.they remember in Daily update On the conflict.

“The fact that Ukraine was able to target the A-50 is significant. Russia will likely now have to reconsider the definition of the areas of operation of its aircraft. The A-50 is essential for Russian aerial surveillance of the battlefield. The Russian Air Force has eight models of the aircraft A-50, which would enable it to cope with immediate operational consequences. However, the increasing pressure on the remaining aircraft, coupled with the loss of crew, would likely limit the mission's long-term viability.Add intelligence services.
