"First the flash, then the tears!"

#Ukraine's military intelligence releases Russian military radio intercepts from its downing yesterday of another of Russia's A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft.

Pilot from a jet "protecting" the plane confirms hit.

An attack by a Su-35 & three Su-34 aircraft was called off due to the strike.

This A-50 was Russia's latest and greatest...updated with latest avionics.

Russian aircraft are transmitting in the clear and Ukraine intel are listening in.

A-50 had an escort...most likely a Su-35.

An attack by a Su-35 & three Su-34 aircraft was called off due to the strike.

Very interesting!

Russian fighter aircraft can't protect themselves or put together a strike package.

UPDATE: Ukraine shot down the Russian A-50U AWACS reconnaissance aircraft over Russian airspace in Krasnodar Krai with Ukraine's own S-200 missile defense system, modified to extend range.

The war would end much faster if the allies would just send Ukraine long-range missiles.

As shown in the picture below, the S-200s already had booster rockets.

Perhaps the only modification required is bigger booster rockets.
