"The crew of Moscow cruise confirms": Russians throw a tantrum over the Kremlin's reaction to A-50 and IL-22 aircraft downing, ironically recalling Putin's plans to seize "Kyiv in three days"

On the evening of January 14, the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed a Russian A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft and an Il-22 air control center of the Russian Armed Forces. The Russians' reaction was not long in coming.

In their usual manner, they threw a tantrum, ironically recalling Putin's plans to seize "Kyiv in three days". Citizens of the aggressor country posted relevant comments on social media.

Thus, after shooting down such "fat" targets of the occupiers as A-50 and Il-22, Russians gone hysterical. Traditionally, Russians began to look for the culprits. This time, it was their own government, which, in their words, "lacks Stalin."

The Russians also quarreled among themselves over whether their own air defense could have shot down the planes.

In addition, they criticized the Kremlin's reaction to the loss of the planes.

It is worth noting that the press secretary of dictator Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, tried to evade the question about the two lost A-50 and Il-22 aircraft. He sent a request for comment to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu.

The operation to eliminate enemy aircraft was conducted in the Azov Sea. This information was confirmed on January 15 by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi, who published a video fragment of the scheme of objective control over the flights of enemy aircraft.

On the evening of January 14, it was reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces had shot down an A-50 reconnaissance aircraft over the Sea of Azov and damaged an Il-22 bomber of the Russian military. After the news broke on the morning of January 15, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, Mykola Oleshchuk, made an interesting hint with the words, "This is for Dnipro!". It should be noted that the day before was the anniversary of the tragic day of January 14, 2023, when Russia launched a missile attack on a house in Dnipro, taking the lives of 46 civilian Ukrainians.

According to the new data, since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February 2022 and up to now, Ukraine's defenders have already destroyed 331 Russian army aircraft.

As reported earlier, the A-50 airborne surveillance aircraft is very valuable for the Russian army. The occupiers use it to locate targets for massive shelling of Ukraine. It costs at least $330 million.
