The Ukrainian Air Force said its fighters on Friday shot down a Russian A-50 military spy plane, the second of the prized aircraft that Kyiv has claimed to destroy this year.
The Beriev A-50 is an airborne early warning and control jet used by Russia to help monitor Ukraine's air defenses. The aircraft typically fly with a crew of up to 15 personnel and are estimated to cost over $300 million to produce.
According to Russian and Ukrainian reports, an A-50 was brought down over the Sea of Azov late Friday. Kyiv officials took credit for the jet's destruction, although some Russian military bloggers said it was brought down by "friendly fire."

Ukraine’s never going to win.
Russia’s never going to leave.
He’s having a Vlodgasm. He has several a day.
No doubt, across the entire continent.
You’ve got your own prancing fairy running your government.
Why would anyone believe British intelligence? They are as corrupt, maybe even more corrupt, than our own.
Ukes aren’t shooting down anything. I imagine NATO “mercenaries” are doing the work if it is happening at all.
Russian milbloggers reported it:
Russian military bloggers with close army links did report an incident over the Azov Sea.
“It will be another dark day for the Russian Aerospace Forces and Air Defense,” wrote Rybar, a blogger with nearly 1.2 million subscribers who supports and provides running commentary on Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“There are not many A-50s. And the specialists operating them are generally rare. If an aircraft of this type is hit, the crew will not be able to escape.”
Telegram channel WarGonzo acknowledged that the A-50 had been destroyed.
So they took to flying them farther south, overland. But not far enough...
We'll probably hear in a few weeks that new planes have been operating in theater.
really, doofus?
They sure do. What a prissy boy. And then there’s the suit/shoes fashion faux pas. I’m not even into fashion, but that screams.
Like the old punchline goes: “You’re the one who keeps showing all the dirty pictures”.
Trudeau must enjoy squeezing together, the balls he doesn’t have.
Why not Biden? But for his election this stuff you cheer on Russia for would not and could not have happened. Biden's election secured it and will allow this and more to endure...why on earth would you want Trump back in power to ruin all of this carnage and oppression you care so deeply about?
Getting a little light on the comedy by summoning them here - this is just a plane crashing...nothing like the laughs over murder, etc. you’ve enjoyed in the past.
Are there any REAL men in Canada?
Hey, maybe if we’re lucky, stupid Vlad will keep sending these advanced AWACS planes into the area to be shot down
After all, Putin is pretty stupid
Thanks! It’s nice to know you are enjoying laughing at Zeepers too!!
Would you like to be notified of new threads?

Actually, my preference is for this war to end BEFORE it goes nuclear, but given your buddies in the White House, I may not be that lucky.
Friendly fire isn’t.
