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 A-50 long range radar detection aircraft, and an IL-22 air control centre.
The A-50 detects air defences and coordinates targets for Russian jets.
Russian officials said they had “no information” about the attacks, but prominent pro-war Russian commentators have said the loss of an A-50 would be significant.

Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, after “new information and evidence has come to light”, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) has said.
“The police are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack. I will be updating the House further this afternoon,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said.
A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested “on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”, CTPSE said.
Police said the “dynamic and complex investigation” had led to the new arrest.
On Thursday, 78-year-old Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.

Three members of his government, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, have resigned, whilst scores of Labour MPs are calling for him to quit following a disastrous set of elections for the party last week.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is among a number of cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to set out a departure timetable.
Sir Keir said he does not intend to quit and threw down the gauntlet to potential rivals to formally challenge him as Labour leader.
No MP has yet launched a formal bid to challenge him, which requires the backing of 81 colleagues or 20% of Labour MPs, according to party rules.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

What kills me the most is when they say Russins weapons are old. Okay but Ukraine are using modern weapons from the west why are they losing? And why changed the narrative to makes US weapons special, shadow missiles leopards Bradley javelin cluster bomb challengers name it Ukraine has it all the to nato officers. But why are losing and can't even reach Russian defensive line. Old weapons vs modern weapons lmfao😅😅😅😅

First of all when a plane shot down, first thing first any country would had done is the rescue missions for any survivors. The Russians didn't, and why didn't they sent rescue for any hope of survivors? Because west is running their mouth without nothing to back it up.

Доброго вечора. Мене звуть Арсен, я родом із України. Все, що пишуть кремліботи путлера або агенти кремля – це неправда. Я живу на вулиці Степана Банденри будинок 29. Щодня нас обстрілюють російські оккупанти. Але ми тримаємося тому, що у нас у підвалі є польські військові, які захищають нас від цих окупантів. Щовечора я приношу Нашим польським захисникам свою доньку для тимчасової втіхи, щоб моя дочка спала з польськими солдатами, а моя дружина працює з американськими найманцями. Моя дружина каже що американці в плані втіх та задоволень краще ніж німецькі найманці. Я сам щоночі підробляю чистильником туалету для арабських найманців, які живуть у нас у Києві. Наш український народ обов'язково здобуде повну перемогу над росією. Ми Українці народ сміливий відважний і відстаємо нашу перемогу над путіним. Перемога буде за нами. Ще я за нетрадиційну сексуальну орієнтацію. У нас в Україні усі чоловіки за ЛГБТ співтовариство. У нас усі чоловіки особи з нетрадиційною сексуальною орієнтацією, а всі жінки активно вступають у зв'язок із арабськими найманцями. Всі наші діти дуже люблять працювати за їжу, люблять спати коли у ліжку знаходиться найманець з будь-якої країни світу. Ми любимо витрачати гроші на спа салони та салони за доглядом за шкірою. Це все тому, що наші доблесні наймані військові зі США дуже люблять гладку шкіру на наших українських тілах. Ми обов'язково переможемо у цій війні, бо ми Українці доблесний народ. Перемога буде за нами. Слава Україні, героям слава. Нехай Україна буде символом дикої рослини під назвою Елда. Вона росте лише на свободі. Тому Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Ук це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. Єлда – це Україна. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸

For those who remember By Dawn's Early Light (film), these planes are sort of like the American ones in the movie, about which the President of the United States uttered the famous line, "So we have Alice in one plane and the mad hatter in the other." "Alice" was James Earl Jones.

THE UKRAINE WAR IS NOT HAPPENING AS ITS BEING PORTRAYED. It is being created with adversarial generative networks, ai, mixed reality, and augmented reality scenes of war and chaos. Every single one of these people who claim to be “covering” the war effort, like this obnoxious ratty schmuck, are lying sniveling little weasels. The Ukraine “war” is a collaboration involving Russia, Ukraine, China, Turkey, and others to fight a multifaceted front against the US in ways other than direct violent combat.
