Expert: Ukrainian air defense got hold of an A-50U of the Russian Aerospace Forces using an “Israeli maneuver”

February 25 2024 72

On the evening of February 23, an AWACS A-50U aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces was shot down over Kuban. Immediately after this, the Ukrainian side stated that this was done by its air defense system, which was able to reach the Russian side with a long-range anti-aircraft guided missile S-200. Expert Yuri Podolyaka wrote about this on his Telegram channel on February 24, trying to understand the situation.

He noted that the Russian authorities have not made any official statements on this matter, but he has already formed a certain point of view. The expert thinks the plane was shot down by “friendly fire.”

Podolyaka suggested that the Ukrainians had developed a provocative operation using surface-to-ground ammunition converted from surface-to-air missiles for the S-200 air defense system. They calculated the flight path of the A-50U, which usually followed one course for a certain time, and fired a decoy missile towards the aircraft. They then tried to bring the fired ammunition as close to the side as possible, simulating an attack with an anti-aircraft missile. That is why the A-50U fired heat traps in flight.

Our air defense officers, trying to intercept the target and save the A-50U, hit their own side with one missile (either they both exploded side by side, the investigation, I think, will show), which crashed during the fall

- he added.

In his opinion, the Ukrainians repeated the provocative scheme used in September 2018 by the Israeli Air Force over the Mediterranean Sea near Syria against an Il-20 control aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which was targeted by a missile from the S-200 air defense system of the Syrian air defense system.

Thus, both versions (both the Ukrainian one and the one expressed yesterday by paramilitary bloggers) are generally correct. And something needs to be done urgently about this to prevent another repetition of the tragedy.

He pointed out.

Podolyaka believes that it is necessary to make the A-50U flight pattern as unpredictable as possible for the enemy. At the same time, specialized specialists can make other rational proposals.

  There is simply nothing in the mainstream media space about the A-50, whether the first or the second. Well, why take any other measures if the majority of the country’s citizens are neither in sleep nor in spirit about the problem? For those who draw their ideas about reality from the programs of Solovyov and Simonyan, everything is wonderful, we are defeating everyone, and Kyiv has not yet been taken due to the fact that the design of the new dress uniform has not been approved.

  It looks very far-fetched. You have to be a complete idiot or a traitor to launch air defense missiles at an S-200 missile flying at our A-50 AWACS aircraft. It’s clear even to an amateur that it’s a huge risk to get on your own plane. The A-50, compared to the S-200 missile, is a huge radio contrast and thermal target, which our air defense missiles will almost certainly choose. Most likely everything is much simpler. Our enemies, taking advantage of the fact that the A-50 constantly flew along the same route, like the IL-22 and A50u over the Sea of Azov, calculated the trajectory and fired a modernized S-200 or Patriot missile at it with an increased range. The Americans could have tried and delivered such a missile. The tragic incidents over the Sea of Azov and Belgorod did not serve as a lesson for us. A possibility is also possible that a Sadwinder-type missile in its ground-based version will be launched from our territory by a DRG.

That sounds like the most plausible explanation, and I suspect it's how they shot down the other one a couple months ago. I remember when 2 Chinooks were shot down in Iraq on a routine mission to the airport...........they flew the same predictable flight path each day, so the militia sent up a kill box of Strella's. After the downing, the US Army said, "we're going to change up the flight paths we use", no shit! AFTER THE FACT! Whoever is in charge of coordinating the A50-U flight plans with air defense, needs to be shot!

War, the enemy is cunning and insidious, losses and casualties are inevitable. To reduce casualties, for such complex large aircraft, the crew and those on board need life-saving equipment and capabilities. For pilots of combat aircraft, there are ejection seats, and large aircraft need rescue capabilities: ejection seats, crew compartments, and the like. I have already written about rescue systems for transport aircraft crews. Why are they not given the opportunity to escape by parachute? Today, such crews are suicide bombers, with no way to escape. Until this happens, it is irresponsibility of aircraft manufacturers and customers. Or widows can file a lawsuit in the courts for not creating opportunities to be saved. in emergency flight situations.

  Not everything is so simple, the crew has the opportunity to “escape by parachute”, but there is not always enough time for this. We don’t know where or how the missile hit and, accordingly, we cannot judge the consequences of its use, let’s be balanced. Unfortunately, this problem, as experience shows, has not been eliminated and the experience from the tragedy with IL-20 was ignored as a rare and special case. Such vehicles MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PAIR OF FIGHTERS! Anytime and anywhere! This was previously stated on the margins of VO. Try to approach the pin@osov AWACS...

    Not so... There, the Jew simply “hid” behind our plane, and the guidance operator had already given out the coordinates for the target and did not make any adjustments...
    The rocket does not hit the plane directly (I’ll explain it at the level of “water pipes” - don’t take it as snobbery). although this happens, it is extremely rare - and this is not required. Enough damaging elements.
    
    They calculated the flight path of the A-50U, which usually followed one course for a certain time
    
    Roughly speaking, this is calculated automatically by extrapolation (but this information is for the guidance operator - where the “target” (mark) will be in the conditions of “locals” or interference at the next moment in time before the radar review...
    The flight path is something else. This is closer to the “flight mission” - course, altitude, changes... This is not a civilian “route” aircraft, where a change in the “corridor” automatically leads to a warning from the air defense troops - and the pilot’s temporary suspension from flying...
    
    Such vehicles MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PAIR OF FIGHTERS! Anytime and anywhere!
    
    But I completely agree with this statement! Given the current laxity, incompetence, and simply sloppiness of the “SUV drivers” from the General Staff of the Russian Federation - honestly, I expected something like this... Do you remember how the crew (6 people and 3 accompanying persons) died quite recently? Carrying 65 prisoners for exchange? Over their own territory, not for “snuff of tobacco”? There was no escort. None. Neither ZRV, nor IA...
    Apparently, no conclusions have been drawn... We're waiting, sir...
    PS. Sorry, I repeat - I don’t suffer from snobbery. I just KNOW what I’m talking about - Former sergeant, 1st class RTV air defense control system operator, except for six months in “training” - two training grounds in Sary-Shagan, six months each... In the steppe, in tents...
    At the extreme, right in the steppe, at the position, the Air Defense Commander-in-Chief, Air Marshal A.I. Koldunov, shook hands with me and my crew of operators, saying warm words and congratulating us on the task completed... And not a “plywood” marshal, but a twice Hero, combat fighter pilot...

According to such “experts,” 7 Russian aircraft (including two strategic A-50s) were shot down by “friendly fire” in two weeks. And the Ministry of Defense looks at all this in silence.

It is not clear how an “unpredictable scheme” can help, if its radar “glows” hundreds of kilometers away, but the rocket doesn’t care where to fly and it flies 10 times faster than the plane and therefore still catches up or goes to meet. If only there was enough range. And it is still not clear, someone from the top declared after the downing of the IL-76 with prisoners that we could not do this, we have “friend or foe” identification on our planes and the missile simply will not aim and will not explode. It turns out that someone is making a mistake, either Podolyak, or someone else.

Why was this “bait” shot down next to the plane? This is a hefty missile, it can be seen long before approaching the target, the range of the air defense system is enough to intercept it hundreds of kilometers from the target. Moreover, the A-50 was supposed to help direct the missile defense system at the attacking missile. It's all very murky.

  I suggest that an effective solution to the problems of detecting air and ground targets while keeping the location source safe is to improve the system of low-orbit satellites equipped with appropriate equipment for this. Of course, this is expensive (financial issues...) and takes a long time under current conditions, but for the future you cannot do without it. Another option is to raise the radar on a tethered balloon or airship. From a height of 1 km, the distance to the horizon (at sea) is approximately 380 km. In Russia, this should have been done yesterday... In the USA, a network of balloon locators has long been created.

The rocket was actually modified from 200 to 600 kilometers. And the Americans are not sleeping, they could be testing some kind of rocket of their own. So there is no need to blame everything on the bungling of the military, they do their job professionally. The A-50 was created at a time when aviation electronics were assembled using radio tubes. In the digital age, it seems that the era of huge, clumsy transport workers carrying a huge plate on their hump is a thing of the past; it is necessary to create an unmanned, inexpensive, mass-produced platform for long-range radar reconnaissance

Why didn’t they write down the F-117 shot down in Yugoslavia by the S-125 complex in their textbooks? he flew along the same trajectory.

Above is a comment about Chinook helicopters. also along the same trajectory.
The Israeli Mnevre, the downed Il 20, also flew one figure eight.
the first A 50 shot down and the Il 22 damaged? Same...
and here we go again!

if NATO was supported by the borders of the Russian Federation and provoked to start a military defense (we were forced to do this), it turns out they knew that they would have to fight in Ukraine with the entire bloc.

if in 14 the Donetsk airport was so controlled by “cyborgs” that they didn’t know who they would have to face in 22?

Even if you don’t read textbooks, then at least the military should remember this...

What textbook should be introduced in military academies is the book “If (oops. again, if”) there were no generals.”

It is obvious that the entire Western satellite constellation, tracking stations, and strategic surveillance drones are working for the Ukrainians. Odessa bloggers in videos on YouTube broadcast messages from their air defense: where, when and who took off, when they fired and what missiles, where they are flying...
If you don’t fight with this, as well as with massive supplies of Western weapons, then what is there to talk about, what kind of victory. Factories in the west, supply routes cannot be touched, radars, satellites, and drones cannot be touched either. Now there will be planes that appear to be Ukrainian... This is a direct road, at best, to a shameful world.

  How did you react? This is an AWACS (long-range radar) aircraft 256 km from the LBS... Over its own territory... It doesn’t shoot down itself - others do it... Either an air defense system or an IA (guidance to the front or rear hemisphere). Its task is to record the launch of the rocket and issue its exact coordinates (TC - target designation).
  This means that there was not only no escort, but also no cover from air defense troops... This is the finish line, guys...

And why is it in Belarus after 1 attack on the A-50, as Old Man whispered... But here they beat us - how much in vain. Or "the king has a lot..."

Podolyak, as always, is full of nonsense! Because the busy idiot will shoot in the area where our plane is.

And our air defense is relatively modern, target selection is normal there. They wouldn't hit the A-50.

Why is no one considering sabotage: our crew was bought by Ukrainians and deliberately shot down an A-50?, no?

  Not. It all depends on the guidance station, or rather, on its range. Meter range - for general use (tablet). Remember the guys behind the glass with the steklographs? Working in azimuth-range? With headphones? With operators of such radars? These are the “tablet operators” at the command post. The meter range is not suitable for precise guidance, although the range is 600-1200 km (without any balloons, which are a piece of cake to destroy). To put it simply - 2 bast shoes on the map... This is for the ICO (all-round visibility indicators) of the operational duty officer at the command post.
  Decimeter. ACS system. The range is lower, but the accuracy... And this depends on the qualifications of the operator... Although... This all concerns RTV and their radar stations. The air defense missile system fires at their target designation - they have a narrow raster. For accuracy.

    I'll add. Yes, I agree. But this is in peacetime - there is an air defense zone of responsibility (where they just shoot down - no options) and there is an air defense zone of responsibility, where even their own fighters are prohibited from entering.

Where did they get the idea that the A-50U was shot down? Where do the firewood come from? All that is known from official sources is that some kind of aircraft crashed. All other sources do not inspire confidence. A girl posted a video, so it says that a helicopter crashed near the village of Trudovaya Armenia. We are waiting for official messages. And now we can only guess.

  It turns out that a UFO fell, and aliens... In general, we will not know about this.

  Nisk, you can wait for anything, even the second coming. Nobody interferes with VPM.

Without betrayal within the command of the RF Armed Forces, of course, two expensive aircraft with the most experienced crews without protection were exposed to attack in 1,5 months. !!!.

Which was shot down by A50U and it is still not clear where the escort fighters were and what they were doing.

Well done crests, I must admit, they are successfully cunning in the Jewish way. It is not at all clear how such rare and expensive cars can be so poorly protected. Are American AWACS really not protected?

Over Kuban?! Isn't it too far?! Have you tried interference?!
