    Here is an interesting article I found that I think is about this event. It was a team effort between Ukrania S-300 and US Patriot PAC-3 missile systems to lure the planes in and then destroy them.

    Sounds like there are only a dozen Russian A-50 remaining in operation, even fewer in the modern configuration, and even fewer qualified radar techs trained to man the tracking stations in the rear.

      1. To start.
      • One was destroyed on the ground by partisans landing an explosive drone on the radar and setting it off.
      • one a few weeks ago
      • this one now.

      Usually at least 1 will be undergoing maintenance. so they have 5 to cover the entire Russian airspace. I guess the eastern side of Russia is not that important anyway.
