According to analysts, on January 14, the Russian aircraft of the far radar detection of the A-50 exploded and fell in the western part of the Azov Sea. Il-22M plane was also damaged, which most likely failed to fully impress and landed at the nearest Russian airfield. The next day after the event, the reliability of the operation was confirmed by the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny. British intelligence analysts believe that it will have great consequences for the enemy.
"The possible successful aiming on the target of A-50 from Ukraine is of great importance. It is likely that Russia will now be forced to review the restrictions of the areas of operation of its aircraft. A-50 is crucial for Russia in the message. By the way, separately British analysts added that in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation there are 8 more A-50 aircraft, which in theory can cover direct consequences after the accident in the Azov Sea.
At the same time, the increased stress on the remaining aviation in combination with the loss of the crew can limit long -term possible missions for indefinite time. We will remind, on January 17 it was reported that the Russian Federation partially collapses operations on the Azov Sea after the destruction of the A-50, which analysts with ISW have declared.
