Burning 45 acres: what does the field on which the Russian A-50 plane looked (photo)

The Russian aircraft fell 50 meters from an apartment building on the Armenian Labor Farm. The explosion almost burned out a field nearby. The place of the fall of the aircraft of a distant radar detection (DRLV) A-50, which crashed on February 23 in the Krasnodar region, was the field on the outskirts of the Armenian labor in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation. Satellite photos, made before and after the incident, were posted on the portal "Radio Liberty. Russia".

In satellite photos, you can see the terrain in labor Armenia. On the frames to the incident (the date is not indicated) - a field located on the bank of the Migut River. The next photo is made after the plane falls. It shows a black spot that occupies almost half the field. Journalists surrounded the boundaries of a black spot and identified an indicative area damaged by the incident - about 4,500 square meters. m (or 45 acres). Black at the site of the fall means that a strong fire was burning.

In Google Earth's image, you can see that outbuildings are located on the left of the fall - they could be destroyed. For 50 m north - a dwelling house and Shirolya Street - the only work of Armenia on the farm. It should be noted that on February 23, the footage of the fall of the then unknown aircraft was published on the network. The Russians posted a video where the plane first throws a number of thermal traps, but then the projectile arrives on it.

Other footage showed a fire at the site of the fall, as well as debris with clearly visible signatures of the components. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine confirmed that thanks to close cooperation with the Air Force of the Armed Forces, Ukraine managed to track and knock down another spy aircraft, about $ 400 million. The scouts published an infographic that showed the trajectory of the aircraft and how the flight parameters changed.

Russian troops stated that the destruction of the A-50 is a consequence of the "Frendli-fighter" forces of the Air Force of the Armed Forces. However, on the Ukrainian side, they do not call the exact means of damage. Meanwhile, military experts are considering several versions: among them-the Western Patriot PPO or an improved C-200. The preliminary case of A-50 was February 14. The blow was struck over the Azov Sea: the aircraft's fragments were drowned or thrown ashore.
