Destruction A-50 and SPR C-400: Armed Forces "clearing" the road for future F-16-experts

The Ukrainian services, according to analysts, are not in vain aimed at Russian A-50 aircraft and air defense sets, as they pose a danger to F-16 fighters. The Russian army in the fight against Ukrainian front aircraft actively used the C-400 anti-aircraft missile systems and aircraft of long-range radar detection (DRLV) A-50 (B). Therefore, the Ukrainian armed forces "put an eye" on these systems, and this makes some sense, especially on the eve of the receipt of Western F-16 fighters.

This is stated in The Eurasian Times. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are likely to aim to weaken the enemy's air defense, an important part of which is A-50 aircraft. In addition, obviously, the danger is the C-400 SPR, armed with 40H6 missiles with a stated range of up to 380 km. Experts say that Russian planning experts hope that 40N6 will also be able to knock down F-16 fighters, which Ukraine is expected to receive soon. This possible tactic also has the same synthesis C-400 and A-50.

However, the Ukrainian armed forces managed to impress two reconnaissance planes and several starting installations of the SAC, using the observers, "different tactics, overloading the air defense and distracting the raids from different sides. " The authors of the publication pointed out that Russian profile channels interpret the recent defeat of the A-50 aircraft in their own way, spinning the version of the death of the car as a result of friendly fire.

In particular, the reasons that led to this situation were the chronically bad "Coordination between air defense and different types of aviation. " As an argument, it was argued that Ukraine was allegedly "rockets poured into all types and into the air and on the ground simply in the hope of the result. " This complicates the air environment as much as possible, so the SCR could mistakenly choose the target by confusing a Ukrainian rocket with their own aircraft.

Meanwhile, this version is contrary to the statement of the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov-he stated that the Russian aircraft A-50 was destroyed as a result of a special operation of Ukrainian services, which was prepared for two weeks. In any case, the strikes on the C-400 and the weakening of the Russian Fleet DRLV precede the rapid appearance of the F-16 on the Ukrainian battlefield, which are the two biggest threats to the fighters.
