Well, the Russians are going to be annoyed now. Instead of perversely saving face by claiming incompetence, they are now called out once again, ad nauseum, for being liars and lost an AWACS to their enemy.

Today’s word of the day is: SAMbush.
I dig it.
#SAMbush
Incredible. I fucking loved watching this army colonel crack up & chuckle talking about Ukraine using a “SAMbush” to take out the Russian AWACS plane 😂.
I am so proud of our military. You guys are all badasses. Even more proud of Ukrainians on the front line. You guys have adapted and learned how to use a hodgepodge of donated equipment and systems with “on the job” training during the biggest war in Europe since WWII.
Was that the last one they had? Can’t be many of those left if not.
She said “german equipment… mounted on trucks…”. Sounds like a IRIS-T battery SAMbush?
I am very surprised that the A-50 did not see/hear the emissions from the Patriot radar set. It almost makes me wonder if the targeting information, came from elsewhere. An E-3 sentry, operating silently, might have triangulated where the A-50 was operating, then passed the data to the Patriot battery.
