The destruction of two aircraft – a unique A-60 and one Il-76 – was also reported by Radio Liberty on Telegram.
“The second destroyed aircraft, according to one version, is the A-100 prototype, the newest Russian long-range radar detection and control aircraft,” the media reported, publishing a photograph of what was left of the two aircraft.
Photos of satellite images after the attack by Ukrainian UAVs were published by the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Robert Brovdi (call sign “Madyar”) on Telegram.
“What could be better for a pilot than additional reconnaissance? There is expensive parking in the “swamps” in Taganrog. A-60s and Il-76s. And in the hangar there is a bonus that will probably remain behind the scenes,” wrote Brovdi.
