Tactics Associated with the Russian A50 Takedown This Week
[Sarcastosaurus Substack] Long, detailed, and with pretty photos of the Beriev A-50 — of which only three were still mission-capable before this incident — and its attendant airborne command post. But the writer starts out with this:So much is going on the last two days - in Ukraine and in the Middle East - that I can’t even decide what way to look as first and what to comment about. Even less so can I summarise all of this in form of ‘useful’ articles - at once. Sure, I’ll try, but… What am I talking about? While most of public attention in the West is drawn by Ukrainians killing one of the last few operational Beriev A-50s airborne early warning aircraft of the Russian Air-Space Force (VKS), the Israelis continue genociding the Palestinians, plus are bombing the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) at and around Aleppo International Airport in north-western Syria; the IRGC has deployed ballistic missiles against the US al-Harir base and (possibly) also the US Consulate in Erbil, in northern Iraq; then the IRGC targeted the positions of the Qatari-supported HTS (ex-Jabhat an-Nusra) in the Harim mountains of Western Idlib; while the Houthis in Yemen have attacked – and this time hit – another of merchants transiting the southern Red Sea.
