The Russian-Ukrainian war has been going on for more than two years, but the Ukrainian side has given Russia a surprise, since the Russian Air Force destroyed an A-50 fighter jet on February 23, Russian warplanes have fallen into a blank. On January 14, Ukraine had just destroyed an A-50 fighter jet, which is the total number of two fighter jets destroyed in a month, the first and second time in history that a fighter jet was destroyed at the same time.
Both Russia and Ukraine have confirmed this, and the American "War Zone" has also reported accordingly, and Ukraine is also happy to say the ** of this drone. A total of ten pilots died, including five majors, three captains, one lieutenant and one lieutenant.

Shot down from an A-50 fighter last month.
The A-50 is an important tactical **, it is highly protected and far from the battlefield, and it is also equipped with fighters, which, in theory, has a low probability of being hit. Ukraine doesn't even have stealth fighters, and it is impossible to achieve victory in a sneak attack, so the outside world also has different opinions about how they did it.
First of all, the A-50 AWACS aircraft, Ukraine is not the main force in the head-on confrontation with Russia, but the European and American sides have given them a lot of ** and information. They began to use drones, cruise missiles, and anti-ship missiles to attack Russian airfields and bases, and although it was only a skirmish, they also achieved good results, including Tu-22M, Il-76, Kilo-class submarines. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to use the A-50 early warning system to monitor and monitor the operational situation in front of the front, especially for the above-mentioned small and low-flying aircraft.

A-50 early warning system.
These large early warning systems are very powerful, and the A-50 can detect the enemy at a distance of 400 kilometers, so their mission is at the rear. Under the protection of the Su-35, under the protection of the air defense system of the S-300 400, it is incredible to be shot down in such an environment. On that day, the A-50 early warning system was on standby in the Okla**dar Territory, and it can be seen from several videos that the aircraft was attacked by two anti-aircraft targets. Judging from the outside footage, the A-50 also seems to sense the threat, it used several jamming bombs to smash one bomb, but due to its large size, its flight speed was limited, and it was eventually shot down by another bomb.
The accident occurred east of the Sea of Azov, and Ukraine did not deploy Patriot missiles nearby, so the greatest danger was ruled out. Judging from the traces of a vertical flight, it has many bullet holes on its body, which should have been hit by Soviet-made anti-tank missiles, and now some people believe that Ukraine attacked an AWACS aircraft with an S-200, and the Russian ground air defense system successfully intercepted it, but another interceptor missile found the wrong target and hit the AWACS aircraft by mistake.
