There will be no "bold" to behave: the Armed Forces explained how the destruction of A-50 will affect the strikes of the Russian Federation in Ukraine
He noted that the enemy can replace the destroyed A-50 to another, but will no longer "behave so boldly" that it will some extent reduce the capabilities of the invaders. "Whether it will affect (the destruction of the aircraft - ed. ) Maybe shelling. Well, to some extent. But Russian missiles and drones, they do not need a plane for DLLV," said Yuri Ignat.
According to him, the enemy is programmed by drones and rockets on Earth, as a result, they will fly along the specified route to the specified purposes. Instead, the A-50 aircraft can only detect the launches of Ukrainian air defense missiles and provide information with their team points. In addition, Ignata stressed that for the first time in history, a plane of this class was destroyed and even with the air team point.
"The destruction of A-50 is a very good sign, both for us and for the West," he said. In particular, Ukraine has shown that skillfully uses the weapons provided, can perform various operations to destroy the enemy where he does not expect it.
