"Ukraine's Downed Russian Spy Plane: Impact on Air Strategy and Surveillance"
Ukraine claims to have shot down a Russian A-50 surveillance plane and damaged an Il-22M bomber over the Sea of Azov, potentially using Patriot air defense systems. If verified, this would mark the first time Ukraine has downed an A-50. Experts believe this could force Russia to adjust its reconnaissance operations and provide tactical advantages to Ukraine in certain areas. The incident is seen as an impressive success for Ukraine and could impact the ongoing conflict and international support.
