On the evening of February 23, the Russian Aerospace Forces lost another A-50U long-range radar detection aircraft in the rear region. According to preliminary reports, Russian A-50U was shot down in the Krasnodar region.
The attack took place at about 8 p.m. local time in the Kanevsky district. Footage from the region confirmed that the wreckage of an aircraft fell near the village of Trudovaya Armenia:
The local authorities confirmed that an aircraft fell in the area. As a result of the incident a fire broke out near the village. No civilian facilities were damaged. Civilian casualties were avoided. The type of the aircraft was not officially revealed.
More footage filmed by the local residents showed that the aircraft was shot down by a missile and the crew tried its best to avoid the strike, firing heat flares:
Various Russian military sources confirmed the destruction of the Russian A-50U AWACS. Fragments of the tail section of the downed A-50U of the Russian Aerospace Forces was discovered nearby:
The Ukrainian side hurried to declare another victory. The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine has published the alleged track of the Russian A-50 in the Russian rear.

Despite the Ukrainian claims, it is not clear how the Armed Forces of Ukraine could reach the aircraft. The village where the aircraft crashed is located about 250 kilometers from the frontlines in Ukraine. The Ukrainian military has no weapons to reach such remote targets in the Russian rear, including the US-made HIMARS MLRS. Thus, the friendly fire is the most possible option.
This is likely the second AWACS A-50 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces shot down by friendly fire in the region since the beginning of the year. On January 15, another Russian A-50 was shot down and the Il-22 was damaged over the Sea of Azov.
The Russian military reportedly has 13 A-50 and eight A-50U aircraft, as well as several A-50 aircraft in storage. These are extremely valuable machines that allow the Russian military to detect targets at a great distance and give target designation to long-range air defense systems like the S-400 and fighters with long-range missiles.

i’d love to get active in her russian rear!
olaf, deine kommentare sind so hohl wie deine politik! 😆😆😆
germany will be nuked in your lifetime and america won’t risk getting their own country nuked will seek peace before that happens. meanwhile will be glowing in the dark and mocked in documentaries.
no one will be nuked if they were not stupid enouth to do it during the cold war they won’t be stupid enough now. you see that they carefully do every step on the escalation ladder to not go to far.
threaten with nukes he has no authority to threaten with cause putin has the keys

bad luck. just learn and analyse the mistakes and improve, as they do in the front line 👍
hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
it is not bad luck , it is ignorance of the generals
unlikely to have been shot down by the nazis. they have nothing that can reach that far

before the accident you were a loser and kiev was losing. after the accident you are still a loser and kiev is losing even more. internet doesn’t change your shitty life. you are a human failure 😄
yes you are nothing but a loser that will die a loser

im sure helpers of ukraine only make a lot of passive help.
i would like more then then that, so the russians know whats going on. the dont. its shown right here several times every day.
i mean…. they should honestly just surrender at this point. like no joke. the us isn’t even trying, the russian army pretty much just destroys itself.
like how your mom surrenders to the power of my overwhelming d!ck, you ukronaze
nafomosexual assault on sf underway as they magnitude of the ten years of catastrophic failure in the ukrainian cia project becomes apparent. everyone who doesn’t jump won’t get to canada!
could it have been an harm missile or was it shoot down from inside russian territories with a manpad? a rbs-70 would be up to the task and maybe an verba
manpads are not able to shot down an aircraft 10km above the ground, wake up.
i haven’t seen any source indicating that it flew at a height of 10km, could you post a source to that claim. but now it seems like it was friendly fire and that russia needs to get their iff in better shape. a-50 is a big target that also emits a lot or signals and should be easily distinguished from other targets.
while the us and/or their proxies lose every conflict they concoct, they do have sophisticated electronic technology. if this is a friendly fire shoot-down, what, if any, similarity is there to the iranian shoot-down of the ukrainian airliner 752, or malaysian 17?
your cope is delicious!!
keep sending more, tears and a50s 😘
if russia does not attack nato at some point, it will drag the problems along with it for another 200 years.
the weakness of nato is to be grasped with hands, it supplies all weapons to ukraine, can no longer defend itself and ukraine loses the war anyway!!!!
putin, -show courage, grab nato, if you wait, nato vulture will come for you sooner or later!
uh noo, they’d rather drive around in circles in minefields and wait until their entire army has been destroyed.
its two things
1) as long as russia use ressucers in ukraine as well as in factories, they are not able to.
2) russion not meet nato in ukraine.
russia not even has bicles and fishing gear as supply. you are les for and not born in brighton. we only donate what they can handle.
thats why they fx not have f16s yet. i now know they can fly the jets. thats not the same as being good pilots. they also has to have maintain in every detail, which has to be educated well.
russia does not need to attack nato, civil war is forthcoming in the united states, canada is politically crumbling and has a clapped out military and unable to conduct warfare, same with the uk and france and germany.
russia needs to merely outlast nato and the rest will work out for russia in their favor.
ukraine is all but done, the only reason why at this point is because russia has not yet decided to drop missiles on their parliament, take out their power plants and make this upcoming winter the most lethal for ukrainians that they’ve had in decades.
understand russia has the ability to end ukraine fast, and no nato won’t intervene, nato is pooched, the united states is bordering on civil war.
no one a-50 was shot down, it was a il 22 which was damage ( no proof of a-50 downed such as fire on ground) and in this case the plane can also be a il 76 or beriev a-40/42 which has the same tail
i need more info.
something was shot down
the nato not put red lines. it’s necessary the russian put them. maybe this moment to kill one otan awacs over black ocean.
agreed with this 💯.
and guess who send info to houttis?..or you think that sandals shepherd can detect a ship 300km from the coast and can hit it?…
your kind dont decide that.
neither yours.
exactly, this is the only answer that matters.
7 left in fleet? lets hope russia ramps up the production because its going to get ugly.
they are not blind. they had or has some 10 old ones. the mainparts of them might do it.
lol good luck flathead.all flatheads achieve is getting super old soviet stock reactivated and breaking the un sanctions 🇷🇺 passed/ agreed itself on. trust worthy;-)
where are the 1600 new tanks medicorejew boasted about?
multipolar world of crime,war, aggression,is all 🇷🇺 has to offer the world. no wonder sf is full with good guy articels of russian allies/ friends like hamas, hisbollah, houti pirates and super nice guys like iran,north korea, eritrea. nwo new world order everyone is waiting for;-)
aggression like the us invaion of iraq? how about crime like the cia’s se asian heroin trade, or their south american cocaine trade? how many countries has the us bombed since 1941? never stop derping, cosplay nafomo boy.
sure ayatollah, saddam, gaddafi,ho chi minh, kim, mao, castro and co fan boy, ur club is the hope of the world and highly sucessful.ur side is scum and unhappily wasnt bombed enough. yet
i don’t think it’s possible. i heard those a-50 are crazy expensive and most of components are not possible to find anymore because of sanctions. so i don’t think russia has ability to create a-50 any more.
suuuuuuureeeeee…. russia cant produce shit. they need to invade latvia to steal washing machines to produce a 50’s… suuuure.
wait, according to you, russia has lost 6 a50s? really? of what modification?
lets hope russian generals start using their brains.
i suspect somehow this, or one of only a few more similar events, will end up being the impetus for arms escalation in the middle east.
probably a nazo attack that needs a response.
your cope is delicious 😘 keep sending more, tears and a50s😂🤣
it is enough for them to waste kia numbers for a town like adivka than for whole of 10 year afghanistan war.
damn i wished my favourite american president was still alive! eisenhower would have made toast of the current kremlin gobnik, but unhappily we have the current idiots in charge.
how can you live with yourself being such a muppet? eisenhower accepted defeat in korea, shoved his thumb up his own ass and watched the russians give a good kicking to the shiftless hungarians, and the viet minh shitcan the french, and topped it off by arranging the bay of pigs fiasco. holy shit, you’re a silly douchebag.
defeat? u are a total bolshivik morron.
millions up on millions of death yellows in korea, the south being a prosperours nation today, while the north is a xhithole.
by the way bay of pigs happened on jfk’s watch.
ha ha. we have more then tennis rackets againt that,
je suis quand même parfois consterné par l’amateurisme et la négligence des russes
me too. its a lot of waste.
out contecti bought a old house hot in the summer and cold in the wither. even it was old house and is i isolated well as it good.
it the change was cheep with some work by me.
i save some 60% i weating. its not overheated in summers and the winter its warm along the wall to the outside. and no slippers.
amerikunty so desperate they have only defeat to celebrate
biden and usa has their problem.
but i only see putin statues in ukraine for shooting practice.
this incident is being widely reported on western media outlets. yes it is possible that a friendly fire could have resulted in this crack. it appears from the video that the crew were aware of an incoming missile and used their flares. if this turns out to be yet another nato attack then russia should without delay arm the houthi army in yemen to sink any western military shipping in the horn of africa!
friendly fire, really? in that case why do we never hear about civilian planes downed by friendly fire in russia ? why only military ones.
lol dont ask questions and thank god/ yehova/ allah or faith ur not living in russia, questions/ ideas make people end up in prison or fall out of windows there.
ideas such as turning the country back over to the americans, and questions such as, “how can i help the americans to balkanize the russian state”?
because no civilian planes are allowed to fly in all south russia except caucasus
really? yalla yalla,dawai dawai dawarish, tell the russian airlines this important top secret information.
airport are closed in south russia included krasnodar
what is ur definition of south russia?
there we go against. there is nato attacks even you deperat hope to legitize your invasion, where nazis runs it having chosend a jew to run the russian farce version.
and beside that many dislike you actions and not only nato members and stoltenberg.
just confirmed: biogenetic killer bee wmf attack on russian air defence forces, thus causing the friendly fire incident. all due to nato generals in us ukrainian biolabs working endlessly with israhelli jew nazi scientists in odessa, harvisting ukrainian childrens mojo and with the expierence of the covid fake vaccines creating super dangerous, brain damageing psycho killer bees.
it’s possible, yes
confirmed by whom? the people who brought us the ghost of kiev? did a vision of st. javelin appear to you?
the usual reliable ones.
this never happens to us awacs but aren’t they piloted by “lgtbq”
although u almost answered ur own question already urself, lgtbq/ faggots know buttom/ top by nature, ideal pilots/ submarine guys so to speak. russian military would be better of, if captain of moscwa battleship,knew more about not being a buttom and those a50’s to be/ stay top.
the plane was shot down over russian territory. and to assume it was friendly fire is very naive, when in doubt aren’t there radio communications to identify aircraft? more likely it was downed by a patriot missile itself and it’s proof that the real range exceeds the advertised 160km. ukraine is now claiming it was a s-200 missile; again it’s in their interest to troll russia and keep it guessing about what really happened.
some s-200 during soviet times had semipassive terminal radar mode to hit awacs planes like antiradar missile kh-31, range 250km and warhead 217 kg.
ok, interesting info. in that i wonder what is giving that s-200 its targeting information. i doubt its dedicated 70s era radar can see that far into russia.
soviet p-18 ml radar which have been upgraded by many countries included czech, lithuania, serbia and belarus…using metre length waves vhf can detect a il 76 from 300km.
supposedly they’re integrating that radar with the patriot detection system. either way, nice trick, but it is only kicking the can down the road, ukraine is literally in the same position they were in when they lost the civil war.
uaf don’t have the manpower to take territory, so the uaf is relying on gadgets, i think russia should start testing nato and chuck a few nice sub kiloton iskanders around just to scare the ‘hols and let them know they’re entering a new level of conflict.
so if i understand correctly s-200 has a bigger range than patriot pac-2 but flies slower, which explains why the a-50u had time to drop so many flares. it could have been saved if there was an interceptor jet around. it’s time to stop thinking of ukraine as substantially weaker than russia. in some respects yes, but not across the board. ukraine has better vision of the battlefield and access to sophisticated technology thanks to nato, which allows them to pull off such ambush attacks.
how could it be a friendly fire shoot down when russian air defense systems would know the squawk codes and position of their own aircraft? saying it’s a friendly fire shoot down is an embarrassing escape hatch for “we don’t know what happened”. obviously these aircraft are very effective at what they do, otherwise they would not have shot down another one.
supposedly it is leftover s-200 missile systems that have not yet been disposed of.
