π₯ Minus A-50U - GUR and the Air Force shot down another Russian plane
π€ As a result of a joint operation of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, another valuable Russian A-50U aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov.
β The destroyed A-50U is a new modernized Russian version of the aircraft.
βοΈ This is an air command post that the aggressor state used for long-range radar detection, control and guidance for strikes on Ukraine with missiles from strategic aviation.
π₯ The downing of the A-50U is another serious blow to the potential and capabilities of terrorist Moscow.
π A sharp drop in speed and height of the downed A-50U aircraft was recorded near the city of Yeisk.
β‘οΈ The cost of such a vessel, of which the aggressor state has a few units left, is 350 million dollars.
πΊπ¦ Glory to Ukraine!
Unless you are 100% sure of what type of missile is fired at you, standard military doctrine for basically any Air Force anywhere is to drop both chaff and flare simultaneously to cover all the bases.
Also they can be set to drop automatically, at least in US aircraft
