Ukraine has scored two confirmed kills against the high value A-50U “Mainstay” airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft and may have damaged more in a recent drone raid.
Known in Ukraine as “the father of drones,” Oleksandr Chendekov tells NV about the fusion of Russian resources and Chinese manufacturing in equipping Russia’s military with modern UAVs, and how Ukraine could counter them.
The Come Back Alive Foundation has shown that one of the components of the Black Box project for Ukrainian military intelligence, for which Ukrainians raised over UAH 230 million (about US$6.3 million) in 2022, is a Ukrainian long-range barrage projectile.
A long-range weapon developed by Ukraine has successfully hit a target in Russia from a distance of 700 kilometers, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post on Aug. 31.
