The head of GUR Kirill Budanov stated that the Armed Forces had been preparing surgery for two weeks to knock down A-50. According to him, six more A-50 remains in the Russian Federation, but after the fall of another Russia will no longer be able to make combat departments around the clock. Russian sources doubt that the aircraft was shot down by Ukrainian Patriot, although it was the version that was informed "up" to the Russian command.
Russian sources have criticized the systematic problem of Russian staff, who thinks only about himself and his career. According to the Ukrainian media, the sources in the GUR reported that the A-50 aircraft was shot down with a modified C-200 system. According to one of the Russian sources, the loss of the second A-50 this winter is a problem, since Russia has already a shortage of such aircraft to a full-scale invasion.
One of the "military" has also stated that Russia will not be able to modernize many A-50s in A-50U due to a number of unknown technical and organizational reasons. He suggested alternatives to release a defective replacement of a long -distance aircraft or buy analogues in China. We will remind that in the GUR told about the losses of the Russian Federation during the liquidation of the A-50 aircraft. It was also reported that Russian aviation capabilities are declining. After losing another A-50.
