Ukraine’s military has shot down two of Russia’s command planes, in one of the most disastrous days for the Kremlin’s air power since the start of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion.
Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s commander in chief, said his air force had destroyed an A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft and an Il-22 control centre plane.
Pro-Kremlin bloggers suggested the planes were hit by friendly fire or even shot down by a team of British SAS operatives using surface-to-air missiles.
Kyiv’s counter-offensive last year failed and in recent months Russia has launched a wave of attacks across the east, along a frozen frontline, seeking to regain the initiative.
Since last year Ukraine has systematically degraded Russian military infrastructure in occupied Crimea, targeting radar stations and other installations.
It bombed the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea fleet in the port of Sevastopol and has forced naval vessels to relocate to safer harbours.
