Ukraine says it shot down Russian A-50 spy plane | BBC News


Ukraine’s military has said it has shot down a Russian military spy plane over the Sea of Azov, in what analysts say would be a blow to Moscow’s air power.

Army chief Gen Valerii Zaluzhnyi said the air force had "destroyed" an A-50 long range radar detection aircraft, and an IL-22 air control centre.

The A-50 detects air defences and coordinates targets for Russian jets.

Russian officials said they had "no information" about the attacks, but prominent pro-war Russian commentators have said the loss of an A-50 would be significant.
