00:00 Ukraine claims to have shot down a Russian A-50 reconnaissance plane and an IL-22 airborne
00:09 command post.
00:11 The Ukrainian Army Chief Valery Zalizuny announced on Monday, hailing the operation as a major
00:17 success.
00:18 Ukrainian Army Chief Valery Zalizuny revealed on the Telegram messenger that the aircraft
00:23 was hit over the Sea of Azov, east of the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula.
00:27 He expressed gratitude to the Air Force for what he called an "excellently planned and
00:32 executed operation."
00:33 Hours later, a Russian military blog posted an image of the shrapnel-riddled tail section
00:38 of the IL-22, praising the crew as "real heroes."
00:42 Kiev's Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat confirmed that the IL-22 had made it to the Russian
00:47 town of Anapa but was beyond repair due to a fire.
00:51 Ignat added that the A-50 had been Kiev's priority target.
00:56 The A-50, a Russian reconnaissance plane equivalent to NATO's AWACS, plays a crucial role in the
01:02 Russian Air Force.
01:03 With its large radar and a crew of 15, it can scan a vast area for enemy aircraft, ships
01:08 and missiles.
01:09 The loss of such a plane is a significant blow to Moscow.
01:13 Natalia Khomenyuk, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Southern Military Command, highlighted the
01:18 importance of the A-50 in Russia's preparations for long-range missile strikes on Ukraine.
01:23 She expressed the expectation that the strike on the A-50 would at least delay powerful
01:28 missile strikes.
01:31 Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Preskov told reporters that he had no information on the attacks,
01:36 directing further questions to the Defense Ministry.
01:39 The loss of the A-50 and IL-22 would mark a substantial setback for Russia, which has
01:43 maintained air dominance since the full-scale invasion nearly two years ago.
01:48 Military bloggers with close ties to the Russian army reported an incident over the Azov Sea,
01:52 predicting a dark day for the Russian Aerospace Forces and Air Defense.
01:56 The rarity of the A-50s and the specialized personnel operating them make the loss particularly
02:01 impactful.
02:02 Telegram channel Vargonzo acknowledged the destruction of the A-50 and expressed condolences
02:06 to the crew's families.
02:07 As the conflict in Eastern Europe continues, the reported downing of the A-50 and the IL-22
02:13 marks a significant moment in the ongoing struggle between Ukraine and Russia.
02:17 We will continue to monitor the situation and bring you updates as they unfold.
