The network has information that the Russian air and space forces have adopted a new aircraft of the early warning and management of A-50U. The news was accompanied by rumors of research initiated by the Russian industrial complex to determine the feasibility of restoring the production of aircraft in this class.

This was reported on March 4 by Zona Militar observers, analyzing Russian sources. The authors of the publication pointed out that officials, on the one hand, did not report the A-50 aircraft lost recently, on the other, the Rostech State Corporation has only limited to previous statements that new planes would be built. In addition, there are rumors that modernized machines will replace an outdated A-50 park.
