  1. Where is the Ukraine thread? It seems to have been replaced by an AMA for the Wall Street Journal.

  2. This has been confirmed by multiple Russian sources as well, there’s footage of the plane being hit by missiles mid air, as well as the crash site. Currently Russians are clamming friendly fire took it down.

  3. You wanna know the dumbest part? Russians are claiming it’s their own AA that shot it down. Twice in a row.

    They’d rather make themselves look like absolute idiots instead of admitting Ukraine has capabilities to do something like that.

  4. Are they gonna say they shot this one down too? Like hell just pretend they got lucky instead of we are so stupid we did it twice.

  5. There was a claim by Russia that they destroyed a Patriot system yesterday. It looks like Ukraine don’t need that Patriot though when Russian AA is so effective

  6. For every single one of those that goes down the future F-16s flying over Ukraine get a little happier

  7. You have to wonder what the dollar amount of losses against one another will settle out at. Ukraine IS losing equipment, but almost none of it is air or sea based. Those are the two expensive categories and Russia has lost a LOT in both.

  8. The price tag of that plane is about the same as the New York Fraud decision against Trump. Maybe Russia shot down the plane to show how little this kind of money matters to a small handed business man and dictator like Trump?!?

  9. Let that $300M and its crew burn beautifully for all the world to see

  10. oof, that must hurt now. Usually a country doesn’t have alot of these aircraft, due to them not being mass produced. But they still have a decent chunk of’em

  11. Some experts have said that this current focus on shooting down radar planes, long range air dominance fighters, and destroying SAM sites is to prepare the battlefield for the F-16.

  12. I’d like to think Ukraine has an ace up their sleeve. They aren’t doing too hot in the ground war this last year but looks like they are trying to lay the groundwork for air superiority once the F16s are ready. Maybe optimistic but who knows?

  13. This is it right? I thought they only had two of these and can’t produce any more.

  14. Hellz yeah! Slava Ukraini! Heroiam Slava! 💙💛💙

  15. Folks. I’m running around today asking everyone to attend peaceful demonstrations in support of Ukraine tomorrow. Please! Your voice is as important as ever.
    Love you 😘 And sorry if I’m annoying you a little today 😅

  16. Cleaning up the airspace before F-16’s arrive. Something is hunting in the Sea of Azov. I bet the Ukrainians have some crazy stories to tell when this is all said and done.

  17. Doesn’t the Russian air force only have a handful of these things? And aren’t they also impossible to replace?

    Because if yes, that hurts them badly. These are the hits that count.

  18. >A-50 aircraft have an estimated price tag of around $350 million
    >
    >The Ukrainian Air Force had previously downed a Russian A-50 over the Azov Sea on Jan. 14.
    >
    >Russia possesses less than ten of these planes.

    Russia had less than 10 of those and 2 are already shot down. Well done, Ukraine!

  19. Because Ukraine’s fuckin badass. That’s why and how. I don’t have to read the article. It’s just fuckin flat-out badassery. Slava Ukraini.
