It seems that the Il-22 finally made it to Anapa. Living reptile. But, as you can see, the trough “cannot be restored.” Therefore, whatever one may say, the target is destroyed, resuscitation will not help! The plane was on fire, the crew were injured, and I hope the 200th were also injured,” Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wrote on his Facebook page.
He also noted that the priority target for the Ukrainian Armed Forces was the A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft.
To this day, the destruction of this aircraft seemed an impossible task for the Air Force. And then the Il-22 (air command post) came under attack! Two “fat” goals at once,” he wrote.
Il-22 is an experimental aircraft of the Ilyushin Design Bureau, the first Soviet jet bomber, as well as the first Soviet heavy 4-engine jet aircraft. The aircraft was tested in two stages in 1947-1948, but was not transferred to series production.
