During today’s mass attack on Ukraine in Belarus, a Russian A-50U reconnaissance aircraft was raised in the air.
Ukraine does not have weapons capable of hitting aerial targets such as the Russian A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft. This is what the picker of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuri Ignat, said on the air of the telethon.
He mentioned that it is difficult to get to the A-50 aircraft, because it flies a long way.
“They can be shot down if we have planes or air defense systems that will at least repel them from our borders, especially the same Patriot, which we really want to have,” said Ignat.
Recall that during today’s mass attack on Ukraine in Belarus, a Russian reconnaissance aircraft A-50U was raised in the air.
The aircraft radar station is capable of detecting air targets at a distance of:
-
bombers: up to 650 km
-
warrior: 300 km
-
cruise missiles: 215 km
In addition, the head of the Joint Coordinating Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces, Natalya Gumenyuk, said that today’s attack by the Russian Federation is trying to exhaust the Ukrainian air defense.
It will be recalled that on December 16, the Russians fired 76 missiles at Ukraine, 60 of which were shot down by air defense forces.
