Not regretted Patriot rocket: US General explained how the Armed Forces was knocked down aircraft A-50 (video)

The US Army Emergency in Europe, Ben Gogeges, noted that Ukraine needs its own analogue of the A-50 aircraft, which will help to work for F-16 fighters for Russian purposes. The Ukrainian military is marked by skills and risked using Patriot SC missiles to knock down the Russian A-50 radar reconnaissance aircraft over the Azov Sea. Such "exchange" shows that the Russian Federation in the second year of the war has never received dominance in the air.

Meanwhile, Ukraine will intensify when it receives an F-16 fighter squadle, but not everything is fine. General Ben Gorse, an excavator of the US Army in Europe, expressed his grades on the Russian-Ukrainian war in an interview with Voice of America. According to the general, Ukraine has every right to beat every millimeter by Russia-occupied territory-on aircraft, for example, A-50 over the Azovsky, including.

The Armed Forces will receive this opportunity after the F-16 aircraft, which will come to Ukraine. Goodges stressed that the A-50 aircraft is a difficult target because it can detect a weapon that can hit it. According to the general, the Armed Forces could indeed use the Patriot SAC rocket and tightened the installation closer to the front line for this purpose.

After that, they made a successful "exchange" - they spent the Patriot rocket and knocked down the precious aircraft of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "You know, to exchange one Patriot rocket on A-50 is a very good exchange, only one Patriot rocket. " The special operation of the Armed Forces against A-50 and IL-22 of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation testifies to three things, the general is confident.

However, Goodges acknowledged that Ukrainians also need an analogue of A-50 when the Armed Forces will receive F-50 fighter jets. "Obviously, they will not have A-50 or something like, or Avaks or Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) is a system of long-range US radar detection]. And yet they will have to provide it somehow. " On January 14, 2024, it became known about the possible destruction of the aircraft of the far radar reconnaissance A-50 over the Caspian Sea.

In addition, the damage to the IL-22 air command point was assumed. A few hours from the first messages, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces, General Valery Zaluzhny, confirmed that the Ukrainian military had indeed reached missiles for a target, which was 160 km from the front line. The commander did not explain what they hit the planes. Later, experts considered several variants of events.

Among other things, it was assumed that the Armed Forces could use Patriot - risked to pull up to the front line, turn on the radar for a moment, and then shot for the target. A-50 was destroyed at once, and IL-22 reached the airport in the Russian Federation: on the network published a beaten tail part of the aircraft. It should be noted that General Ben Gogeges comments on the events of the Russo-Ukrainian War since the first days of a full-scale invasion.
