Russians searched for "wandering Patriot": Colonel revealed new A-50-50 Details by C-200

To spread: the Ukrainian military last year successfully destroyed Russian aircraft T-22M3 and A-50 by strikes of old Soviet missiles from S-200 anti-aircraft missile complexes. Colonel of the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, pilot-instructor Roman Svitan said that in order to refuel such rockets, the "whole train" went to the starting installation, and engineering training could not do without the help of Western allies.

He told the details of unique operations of the Defense Forces of Ukraine on the air of Radio NV on May 14. Roman Svitan noted that surgery on the destruction of the C-200 rocket strategic bomber Tu-22m3 and a aircraft of distant radar detection and management of the A-50 were extremely complex. "In order to refuel this rocket, the whole train goes to the starting unit.

It, in general, is at least anti-aircraft missile complexes, object type, that is, almost not a whole cosmoid for launching this rocket, a special engineering service. Instructor pilot. According to Svitan, Western partners should be involved in the operation, as the coordinates, height of the aircraft and the appropriate engineering training should be clearly known.

The expert noted the main problem of using such a starting installation: it is difficult to bring the rocket on the site before going to the target, because it "goes beyond the radio horizon". "The guidance occurs with the help of the main complexes that remain on Earth, goes beyond the radio. However, according to him, the ammunition carries more than 200 kg of combat part and tens of thousands of stresses and can strike a serious blow.

At the same time, the rocket's gap of about 300 km makes it possible to reach it even to the Kerch Bridge. Svitan suggested that the General Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine held an information company and launched a report on the use of Patriot SAC so that the Russians "did not seek" C-200. "And this operation was really very competent and reasonably conducted by GUR, the center of information and psychological operations.

On January 19, 2024, the UK Ministry of Defense said that the A-50 aircraft is a key tool for conducting surgery in Ukraine, as it warns of threats to the air and provides functionality of command and control.

The publication of the UE, citing sources in GUR, on February 24, 2024, wrote that the day before Ukraine was knocking down another Russian aircraft of a long-range radar detection above the Azov Sea, and the entire A-50U crew was killed. Sources in special services on April 19, 2024 reported focus about the beating of a strategic bomber of TU-22MZ 300 km from Ukraine from the anti-aircraft missile system C-200.

The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has been preparing this operation for more than a week. On May 13, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published footage of beating Tu-22m3 and A-50 anti-aircraft missiles 5V28 to the C-200 missile system. Defense Express analysts noted that the operation was extremely risky, since the installation was unknown and there was no ability to get out of the impact.
