Ukraine said Friday it shot down a Russian spy plane, the A-50U, over the Sea of Azov, and revealed a map indicating it crashed over southern Russia.
Moscow issued no formal statement, but authorities in Russia’s southern Krasnodar area said fire crews were on the site of an air disaster without providing further details.
“Another valuable Russian A-50U aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov”, Ukrainian military intelligence reported.
“The downing of the A-50U is another serious blow to the potential and capabilities of terrorist Moscow”, Ukrainian military intelligence continued.
The A-50 is a Russian surveillance plane similar to NATO’s AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) aircraft.
Ukraine claimed to have shot down an A-50 aircraft in January, also over the Azov Sea that separates Russia and Ukraine.
