Russian Telegram published a video of a Russian A-50 aircraft being shot down. Russian 'military correspondents' attribute this to friendly fire.

The Ukrainian government delegation led by Prime Minister Denys #Shmyhal did not meet with their Polish counterparts at the joint border area on February 23 to address the problems of transportation blockade, as the Polish representatives did not arrive.
Footage uploaded to social media shows the A-50 desperately dumping flares as it tries to evade the incoming missiles – despite the fact these countermeasures are ineffective against the type of long range radar guided missiles likely aimed at the aircraft. https://t.co/XTG9OIk0Vi

Ukrainian and Russian channels now both agree the A-50 was shot down; the Ukrainians claim they were responsible, while the Russians claim they shot down their own aircraft.

Russian sources are reporting the loss of another A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft, again shot down near Mariupol. The cause has not yet been established.


"Again, an A-50. Again, the same area. The enemy once again has nothing to do with it. The [air defense] launches came from the Mariupol area."
