#6  A lot of them were Patriot ambushes recently. This, however is far enough away I really do suspect the Russians shot down their own.

#4  I keep wondering if the F16s are secretly already in action in Ukraine or if sneaky Joe Biden is allowing the F22 or F35 to be in action being flown in Ukraine by US pilots.

Minus A-50U of the Muscovites is a joint operation of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense and the Air Force

🦉⚡️ As a result of a joint operation of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, another valuable Russian aircraft - A-50U - was shot down over the Sea of Azov.

💬 This aircraft was used by the aggressor state for long-range radar detection, control and guidance for strikes on Ukraine with missiles from strategic aviation.

🧐 The A-50U modification had a modernized radio-technical complex for detecting low-altitude and inconspicuous air targets.

📍A sharp drop in speed and altitude of the downed A-50U aircraft was recorded near the city of Yeisk.
