A Moscow court has arrested in absentia AFU Colonel Mykola Dzyaman on charges of terrorist act.
According to the investigation, the commander of the 138th anti-aircraft missile brigade of the AFU on February 23 ordered his subordinates to shoot down a plane of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
"The above actions led to the death of 10 crew members and the destruction of the airplane," the IC said in a statement.
Dzyaman was put on the federal wanted list.
The A-50U is a modernized version of the A-50 reconnaissance aircraft. Its cost exceeds $300 million. The equipment on such planes can simultaneously track several dozen targets in the sky and on the ground.
This was the second reconnaissance plane that was shot down by the AFU. The first one was shot down in mid-January over the Sea of Azov.
