So cool. Thanks for sharing. Good story.
Pretty cool - though it does seem like a bit of a risky proposition, considering that Iβm sure Russia considers those things high-value targets, and also has AAMs designed specifically for taking out targets like that at standoff ranges
I think we're seeing that Russia's air defence capabilities are seriously degraded. We're seeing Ukraine F-16s hit targets inside Russian controlled areas.
Oh I know, but itβs still a dicey proposition to have a decidedly large and un-stealthy heavy airlift asset floating around an active war zone without some pressing reason. Again, the R-37M is specifically designed to hit stuff like AWACS and aerial tankers and cargo planes and other things like that
Agreed, but it certainly has great propaganda value doesn't it!
Yeah I think this is they're way of saying "We know"
