The Tu-22M3 bomber that crashed on April 19 was said to have been “shot down by an American Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.” This was said by the expert of the German publication BILD in the analysis of open data Julian Röpke (Röpke).

He considers “extremely unlikely” the version of the Russian Ministry of Defense that a technical malfunction led to the crash of a supersonic strategic bomber near the Bogomolov farm in the Stavropol Territory. He drew attention to the video, which shows that the right engine of the plane, which returned to the base in Mozdok after another shelling of Ukraine, is on fire.

Media said the Ukrainian Armed Forces had previously shot down a Russian A-50 long-range radar detection and control aircraft using the Patriot. BILD says the Patriot’s range in Ukrainian service is about 200 km.

However, the Tu-22M3 crashed 370 km from the territory controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Repke explained this by saying that the Ukrainian missile “hit the plane before it fell.”

According to the expert, the crew tried to save the car and managed to fly about 170 km in a few minutes with a damaged engine, but it still fell. And that’s why the pilots were able to get away.

As you know, Russian war criminals have launched another massive missile and drone attack against Ukraine. One of the Tu-22M3 bombers was shot down and crashed near Stavropol.

It is also known that at least one crew member was killed.

The Main Intelligence Directorate told how the Tu-22 was shot down
