On the air of the nationwide telethon, Andrii Yusov, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, has stated that russia cannot currently produce A-50 AEW&C aircrafts.

“There were about ten different modifications of similar aircraft. The difference is not how many there are but the ability to produce them. As of today, the degraded industry of the russian federation is incapable of producing new, similar aircraft with similar tasks,” the representative of Ukraine’s military intelligence said.

In addition, Andrii Yusov noted that cooperation with putin's russia is becoming toxic, undesirable, and dangerous. Foreign suppliers are responding to the threat of secondary sanctions.
