Ukraine Claims Russian AWACS Hit On Ground - AVweb

Ukraine claims it has damaged or destroyed another Russian AWACs plane, this time while it was on the ground. Newsweek is reporting the high value A-50 was hit when Ukraine launched a mass drone attack against a repair facility in Taganrog, just east of the front lines. Russian officials acknowledged the attack, saying they downed 47 drones, but did not confirm that an A-50 was hit. If it was, it's at least the fourth highly valued command and control plane taken out by Ukraine and the focused assault on that type of aircraft appears to have had the desired effect.
