Heart of Ukraine: interactive Valentine’s Day installation unveiled at Kyiv’s railway station
The UK Ministry of Defenсe reports.
It is noted that on January 17, the Russian air force began operating another A-50 near the Krasnodar region. This probably indicates a reduced risk to the aircraft and an attempt to preserve the remaining aircraft, despite their overall effectiveness over Ukraine.
Despite no official statement from Russia on the loss of the reconnaissance aircraft, the intelligence community believes that this probably shows Russia's tacit acknowledgment of the successful operation.
"If the loss of the MAINSTAY was an accident, then such a decision is unlikely to have been required," the intelligence believes.
