Ukraine Daily Update | Day 691
Video Summary
Today, it was confirmed that two Russian aircraft were shot down over the Azov Sea, marking a major achievement in the air warfare aspect of the ongoing conflict. The first aircraft, an A50 Russian radio electronic reconnaissance plane, was used to recognize and designate targets and pass information to the Russian command. The second aircraft, an Il-22, was being used as an air command and control center, similar to the US Air Warning and Control System.
This development is significant, as it is believed that the Russian forces only had nine to 10 active A50 planes, with one previously being hit in a drone strike in February last year. The most recent A50 was reported to be downed last night, with the pilot confirming that it crashed not far from Kilya. The Il-22, on the other hand, was severely damaged and its pilot requested an ambulance. There are also unconfirmed rumors that a Russian propagandist, known as a “fighter-bomber,” was on board the A50, but this has yet to be confirmed.
This news is a significant victory for Ukrainian forces and a setback for Russian forces. As a result, fans of mine are celebrating this achievement, and I will be discussing the updates and developments in a live stream tonight. In the meantime, I wish you all a beautiful day.
