Ukraine says it shot down Russian A 50 spy plane, BBC News
Ukraine s military has said it has shot down a Russian military spy plane over the Sea of Azov, in what analysts say would be a blow to Moscow s air power. Army chief Gen Valerii Zaluzhnyi said the air force had destroyed an A50 long range radar detection aircraft, and an IL22 air control centre. The A50 detects air defences and coordinates targets for Russian jets. Russian officials said they had no information about the attacks, but prominent prowar Russian commentators have said the loss of an A50 would be significant.
