    It is also quite possible it was a friendly fire incident. I have a hard time believing an A-50 would be deployed anywhere near the anti-air range of Ukraine.

      Suchomimus on YouTube did an analysis and apparently it was downed within patriot range of the front. I still haven’t heard anything concrete though.

      There was a patriot damaged on the 6th of this month. They probably propagandized it as 20 patriots destroyed or some shit and some commander drank the Kool aid.

        it could be something entirely different

        The Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) stated that Ukrainian resistance forces detonated a Russian military UAZ Patriot vehicle in occupied Melitopol, Zaporizhia Oblast, injuring four Russian personnel and killing an unspecified number of personnel.
