Ukraine has shot down 10 Russian warplanes in 10 days: nine of Russia’s best Sukhoi Su-34 and Sukhoi Su-35 fighter-bombers and also a rare Beriev A-50 radar plane.
According to Ukrainian Pravda, the missile Ukraine used to shoot down a Russian A-50 radar plane wasn’t an ex-American Patriot. No, it was an ex-Soviet 5V28.
We don’t know exactly how Ukrainian forces shot down one of the Russian air force’s eight remaining Beriev A-50 radar-early-warning planes on Friday. But we do know why.
