In a daring display of aerial prowess, Ukraine's strategic blow against Russia's airborne command centers, the A-50 and Il-22M, signals a seismic shift in the high-stakes game of air superiority over the Sea of Azov.
Ukrainian forces allegedly shot down a Russian A-50 military aircraft over the Azov Sea, RBC Ukraine reported on Jan. 14, citing an unnamed source in the Ukrainian military. An additional Russian military plane, the Il-22M, was also allegedly damaged.
The Freedom of Russia Legion - a group aiming to overthrow Vladimir Putin - says it has launched another attack on home soil and that battle is ongoing.
