One of the Tu-22M3 long-range bombers that carried out a missile attack against Ukraine on the night of April 19 was shot down as a result of a special operation by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine in cooperation with the Air Forces.

The enemy Tu-22M3 bomber was shot down at a distance of about 300 kilometres from Ukraine using the same means that had previously hit the russian A-50 long-range radar detection and control aircraft. As a result of the damage, the bomber was able to fly to the stavropol area, where it crashed.

It should be noted that this is the first successful destruction of a strategic bomber in the air during a combat mission during russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Every war crime committed against Ukraine will be punished with justice.

Glory to Ukraine!
