A number of Telegram channels, in particular the monitoring channel "Belarus of the brain", reports that IL-20 of the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation in the airspace of Belarus conducts intelligence of radar air defense stations in the western regions of Ukraine. "This aircraft performs exploration of Ukrainian air defense systems in the western part of the country, which cannot be made by land through radio horizon.
Earlier, the PCS of the Russian Federation used more modern A-50 aircraft for intelligence, but after they lost one of these aircraft in Belarus, they are no longer risking. And has been used by rarity since the 1960s. IL-20 (by NATO codification: coot-"Lisukha") is a Soviet military aircraft of complex intelligence, created on the basis of the passenger aircraft IL-18 in 1968. It is equipped with a radar inspection radar, camera, radio intelligence stations and radio interception stations.
One of these aircraft was shot down in Syria in 2018. In 2023, during the rebellion and march on Moscow, Wagner PEC, militants of a private military campaign shot down another similar reconnaissance aircraft. In 2024, the IL-20 was intercepted by NATO fighters when he was reconnaissance over the Baltic Sea. We will remind, earlier intelligence of Ukraine told that in Belarus there are no nuclear weapons and even more so "hazel". But there are carriers transmitted by Russia.
