I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-thirtieth day of the war.
Day 730: Feb 23
Today, there are a lot of interesting news.
First of all, the Russian Armed Forces suffered a strategically significant loss of an A-fifty-U Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft. This is already the second A-fifty aircraft that Russians lost just over the last two months. For context, the radar on this aircraft helps Russians detect virtually any object within a hundred-kilometer radius, and Russians had only a handful of such game-changing pieces of technology that allow them to assert local air superiority. Today, the number of A-fifty aircraft in the Russian arsenal has been reduced to seven, and with the current rate of losses, Russians will completely run out of them in just half a year. What makes the situation even worse is that Russians basically cannot produce new A-fifty aircraft due to sanctions.
The incident happened near the Azov Sea, which is quite interesting because the last A-fifty was shot down here as well. If you still remember, Ukrainian forces significantly depleted Russian detection and surveillance capabilities in Crimea by conducting an extensive series of strikes in January, which resulted in the destruction of multiple radar stations. In order to compensate for the lack of radars, Russians started to deploy A-fifty to close the sky, however, the aircraft got within Patriot air defense system range and was promptly intercepted.
This time, the Russian aircraft was intercepted more than two hundred fifty kilometers away from the front line, which is outside the one hundred-fifty-kilometer range of Patriot systems. This raised a lot of questions and speculations regarding the mysterious interception.
Russian sources reported that at the moment of the incident, the Russian air defense system was busy intercepting two missiles that Ukrainians launched from the Dnipro area. Due to the fact that the trajectories of the missiles and the A-fifty aircraft were close, the Russian air defense operators reportedly got confused, thought the A-fifty aircraft was also a missile, and shot it down. The proponents of this version of events claim that the Russian air defense has had many such instances in the past. The critics of this theory claim that judging by the speed and size of the massive A-fifty aircraft, it is impossible to confuse it with the missile, especially given that this aircraft is basically a flying radar that gives information to the air defense operators. Moreover, the aircraft had just taken off and was steadily gaining speed and altitude, and it was also moving away from Russia, not toward it. The critics also said that they do not believe that all six aircraft in the last two months were lost due to friendly fire and noted that throughout this two-year war, seventy-five percent of all Russian aircraft losses were reported as friendly fire accidents. The critics speculated that the aircraft was shot down by the sabotage groups with man-portable air defense systems that were operating on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Ukrainian sources reported that the A-fifty aircraft's interception resulted from a successful operation by the Ukrainian Air Force and Special Forces. The Spokesman for the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate reported that Ukrainians used modified S-two-hundred air defense systems to identify and destroy the target. Even though the S-two-hundred missile was developed in the Soviet Union, Ukrainians have reportedly modernized them to the point where the only common thing between them and their old counterparts is the carcass.
Regardless of which version is correct, the destruction of the scarce A-fifty aircraft is expected to bring temporary relief from bombardments on the front. As A-fifty can track up to sixty targets simultaneously, it provided excellent cover for the Russian fighter-bombers from the possible retaliation from the Ukrainian air defense. Russian forces established and enjoyed this local air superiority the most in the Avdiivka direction, where they have been dropping up to sixty bombs per day during the peak heat of the Battle for Avdiivka.
According to both Ukrainian and Russian sources, even though the use of bombs significantly decreased after Russians lost five fighter-bombers, the bombardments did not cease completely. As mentioned previously, the next main Ukrainian defense line is north of the small river, which made it...

Ukraine should be provided with an enough fighter aircraft to form airforce, such as F-16s and longer-range precision munitions, including ATACMS (more of them, and the longest-range versions should be sent to them), and the russian military facilities inside of russian territory should be considered legitimate targets. It is worth noting that support for military aid to Ukraine in America is over 80% and increasing. This is because Americans understand that not only is aiding Ukraine the morally right thing to do, it is the practical thing to do also. America has spent something like approximately 6% of our military budget so far to aid Ukraine. However,,, more than half of the russian army has been destroyed. This is a tremendous bargain by any measure! In addition, when russia is defeated in this war, their barbaric ideology of imperialism will also be defeated, making Europe a much more peaceful and stable place for decades - as well as preventing a new arms race in the region. That is why billions of dollars spent today to aid Ukraine saves trillions of dollars tomorrow.. The vast majority of Americans understand this fact. Americans also want Ukrainian military and civilian casualties minimized. This is why Americans are correct to support providing military aid to Ukraine.
Please write to your elected representatives to request this military aid. If you are an American citizen, please consider writing to President Biden and your other elected representatives, and demand Ukraine be given the above weapons - in war-winning quantities, and promptly. The sooner America provides Ukraine the weapons it requires to liberate all of its territory, the sooner this war will be done;, and with fewer Ukrainian casualties. Letters can be submitted electronically via the Whitehouse website.. One can also conduct a google search for ones' elected representatives - many of which have similar websites. One may simply write and submit a letter electronically to make one's desire known.
🤣🙉🤡🖕Oh, yes, for sure they are panicking, they are very scared, so much so that Avdeyevka fell and Kharkov, Kherson and Odessa will also fall. 😂😂
Ah winning again and i believe every word you say
@@harrybolt5912 ? What?
@@harrybolt5912 Only the naive like you can still believe the Ukrainian-Western ridiculous idiotic propaganda campaign
Long story short: Russia broke a new world record in incompetence.
ruzzia claiming they shoot down 75% of their aircraft losses? Sounds good to me. Maybe we should show more support for these efforts.
I love that no matter which explanation is correct, it makes the Russian military look terrible.
After the Black Sea Navy threat was essentialy removed, Ukraine is now busy doing the same to their airforce. 👍😄
And at the same time, they have received and processed 400K prepackaged russian fertilizer parcels.
Yes they have been striking radars and SAM sites in the occupied lands for months now, making it easier for follow up striked to go through, especially now with additional GLSDB.
Russia enjoyed tons of advantages from the start, a lot of them have been reversed and now Ukraine has some tech advantages. At the start russian air force was much stronger and naval launched cruise missiles were a problem. But not long till the Moskva was sunk and about a dozen more (less than a dozen but still) since then. Also it is not just that they lose the planes.. they lose the pilots! Those are much more valuable than the planes, they take years and lots of money to train and even then you only have rookies. Experience and additional training is what makes a great pilot and only great pilots make great planes actually great. The russian economy took a hard hit, even if the trolls want to tell their lies, they can't deny the insane currency devaluation while having insane intrest rates. HIMARS countered the artillery by blowing up ammo dumps and ofcourse over the last months HIMARS and western artillery with range and precision advantage have been hunting russian artillery like crazy. They are drafting foreginers like crazy to cause the massive attrition and without american support this is a problem.. when it should not be. Europe has insane production capabilities, but european governments have so far denied to sign contracts with their own arms industry to just ramp up shell production.. or whatever ammo or missilie production. Rheinmetall and co have been saying from the start they can easily do it, but they need signed contracts and allocated money for it. That is a completely reasonable demand on their part. No one works for free and no one invests millions with the possibility of doing it for nothing. While europe has ramped up support a bit.. it has not replaced what the americans were doing so far and they easily could if they wanted too. 0.1% of every european states GDP would be a ton of money, many many billion euros. That would fund the production needed and it is not even much of an investment on their parts. Americans are not the only ones ashamed of their governments actions these days. Still I will never give up on supporting Ukraine.
Putin must be defeated.
@@davidarchibald50yes, how could the Russians think they could beat Ukraine with only shovels and airsoft guns, am I right
@@davidarchibald50 Before summer, the quantity will be 500k. The scent of vodka emanates from those fertilizer packages.
@drewpaupanekis4710 The Russian military might of donated lots of armoured vehicles and ammo to the AFU , and might have dusted off antiques like T-55 tanks but that's a stretch.
Slava Ucraina
There are reports that Russia only had 3 airworthy A-50s when the war started.
All I see is Ukraine retreating.
Thank you for the updates. Whether the news is good or bad for Ukraine, it should be reported daily. Your channel is a source of information that is vital for international awareness. Keep doing what you are doing! It does matter.
Remaining Russian AWACS crews must be very anxious. 🇺🇦
It may be crew, not crews. I'm not sure if it's true but according to one source Russia only had three AWACS crews and they've lost two.
Now desperately looking for alternative employment 😂😂😂😂
No, theyre too drunk. They just think the other AWACS crews going down is funny and makes them more manly for surviving catastrophe in a really messed up country. Remember these are orks, not regular people
@@tessjuel awacs is aincient, there are normal looking planes doing the same, you can find the intel, can't tell it in here

I just want to take a second to compliment you on how much better your English has gotten and how much more detailed your news has beclme. Your progress is incredible and your hard work continues to show through. Thank you and Slava Ukraini!!
Russia, nor Ukraine has ever had air superiority over Ukraine
Slava Ukraine ❤️🇺🇦🇺🇸
Not sure if it's funnier if the AWACS went down to friendly fire, or if Ukraine sniped it.
NATO destroyed it.
I am not sure which Russia prefers.
@@mikethompson2650 Russians are stupid enough to prefer friendly fire
@@mikethompson2650 They seem to hesitate using the 'friendly fire' thingie. They realize it is diminishing returns making themselves look so inept at the air defense thingie. LOL!!
Either way, the Russian MOD is out roughly $500 million…
A moment of silence for two years of war. 🕯️
Sabotage groups operating on Russian soil shooting down such an extremely valuable and rare strategic asset would surely be one of the biggest, most humiliating blunders for the FSB.
If this is true, then heads will roll. Mark my words.
No, was improved S200 missiles who have 300 range
You think Ukraine can hide a missile that's 11 meters long and 1 meter wide that needs to be launched from a lorry on Russian soil?
Man, your really not thinking this through are you.
These guys show it was red on red downing my friend! czcams.com/users/liveEf5uycsSyJ8?si=AIUSgUY11fVfYv-D
@@leneanderthalien no it was S200 but fired from Russian battery show the launch track and hit here. czcams.com/users/liveEf5uycsSyJ8?si=AIUSgUY11fVfYv-D
manpads are shoulder launched. think like the stinger. not
hard to hide at all@@bobeyes3284
It was an S-200. It has a range of 300km. There is a video of Russia launching likely an S-300 but the video shows a second explosion. This was likely the S-300 attempting to shoot down the S-200 and failing. S-200 are designed to shoot down the large strategic bombers from the Cold War. Their radar and targeting systems would struggle to even detect a smaller fighter jet, but against an A-50 they should be pretty effective. They likely had a patrician near the air base informing the Ukrainians that the aircraft was taking off and as soon as they picked it up on their radar system they fired. The S-200 goes at Mach 4. They detected the S-200 and started deploying chaff and flares. They likely also contact the ground based air defenses to notify them of the incoming S-200.
This was not operatives inside Russia with MANPADs or a friendly fire situation. This was Ukraine targeting air defenses in the area and moving an S-200 battery closer to the frontlines based on good intelligence. This is how they took out the last A-50. They knew its flight path, hit a bunch of air defenses in the area, and moved a Patriot battery to near the frontline. They also did something similar to take out the cargo aircraft used to supply missiles to forward bases. It is an effective strategy that has been working quite well and it is hard to prevent because they likely moved in the battery only a few hours before they fired and left shortly after.
This sounds the most likely to me, yes.
There was also a IL 22 that also got lost.
Phew, someone with a head on his shoulders, thank you!
@@sonyphotoguy6601 I think that was the other plane to which Todd was referring.
If the S-200 flies at Mach 4, and I don't doubt that they can, then how much time do the Russians have
from detection to evasive maneuvers, and notification to the ground based radar defenses?
You know, judging by the strikes on radar stations in Crimea and now the A-50s on the Sea of Azov, it looks an awful lot like they're trying to remove all the air defence radars between Ukraine and the Kerch Bridge.
They will feel that loss even more when the F16 start to show up. It puts also more stress on the remaining units and wears them out faster
Major General Mykola Oleschuk, Commander of Ukraine’s Air Defense forces approved disclosure that a Soviet-era S-200 SAM that had been domestically upgraded was used in the most recent attack. It has sufficient range to reach Moscow and St Petersburg, and there are no restrictions on their use imposed by allies to do so. As a consequence, these losses of A-50-U AWAC aircraft & crews pose an immediate dilemma for the Kremlin.
I like that theory, but I would like to know why they hadn't used the S-200 for anything so dramatic in the past 2 years of war. (It probably has something to do with these "modifications" - which makes me even more curious what they are)
Why, oh why, this kind of tasks, striking on Russian soil, are allowed only for Ukrainian weapons? I am pretty sure that Western missiles feel miserable, as they are not allowed to participate these tasks.
@@anomymouse5043Because NATO is being cautious to not push the russ to use a nuclear device.
Because of the weight limitations of fighter bomber jets, they cannot carry a very heavy long range radar. Therefore AEW&C aircafts equiped with these heavy radars will send information to the fighter jets whenever it detects an enemy aircraft, missile, vehicle or ship.
The downing of these aircraft seems like a shaping operation for the F-16s that will enter combat possibly later in the year, reducing the chances for Ukrainian jets to be detected, intercepted and shot down.
Russia claiming it's friendly fire is just saying they don't need Ukraine to kill their troops for them, they're that incompetent. Still, to deny enemy involvement entirely like that is just silly, everyone knows the truth by now. Thank you for your report as always, be well and until the next one.
PooTin et al would rather admit or imply their own incompetence than admit their junk was shot down by Ukraine and thus not "invincible".
If Ruzzia claiming it's friendly fire, it means something different. A means B.
because in the bizarre russian mind, they'd rather believe they're incredibly incompetent
Dmitri, quickly invent a lie to cover that Ukraine shot down second A-50. Something that will save us from shame.
Dmitri: I know! We shot them both down on our own!
“They don’t want the Ukrainians to kill their troops for them, therefore killing their own troops “ Can’t stop laughing
Thank you for your hard work. Slava Ukraini from Canada
And they’ve lost a second very highly trained air crew, possibly more important than the plane!
Yes, very true. They might have 7 of those planes left but how many of their current pilots know how to operate them?
BTW - how many people does it take to crew an A-50?
@@howiehall4622 Wikipedia says 15, all of them will be experts in their own field and, who knows maybe another Major General amongst them.
@@howiehall4622 Some people here claim that there's russian mil-bloggers who claim there's only 3 crews in total. If that were true, they'd have only one crew left. A lot of assumptions and hearsay but it's not that unreasonable. takes highly trained people to crew these aircraft. Losing two entire crews and 2 aircraft you cannot rebuild is certainly desastrous.
As far as airforce support crews are concerned. Any engineering graduate could easily replace them.
@@cruzab3153 you obviously have no fucking clue about how complex these systems are. and btw, most "engineering graduates" have already left the country, the brain drain since the invasion has been staggering
Like I've been saying, the Ukrainians have been running F-16s for a while now. They say the delivery is just around the corner to keep everyone guessing.
Ahh, but if they have operational F-16s, do they have air to air missiles that have that great a range?
Look it is a nice thought, but it is very possible to track the pilots in training and whether these planes are in Ukraine. They are not stealthy, they are trackable. It would be common knowledge from all kinds of social media posts and whatnot. Kinda of impsssible.
how come they keep the f-16 flying and not the f-18's.
@@healthyhabits5401lots of F16s in the world and lots of subsequent upgrades/weapons available.
Ukrainian F-16 pilots have been training at Luke Air Force Base in the PHX area for over a year. It was on local TV. The F-16's are much quieter than the F-35's,and they fly at night. So far I haven't heard any F-16 recently.
Russian AA gets a new slogan: "If I don't fly, no one flies"
Slava Eukraine
SLAVA UKRAINI
I hate seeing Ukraine give up territory although I’m sure it’s better than losing soldiers.
If Ukraine gets military support from the United States, they will take back all their lost territory and more.
At least territory can always be retaken. I have a feeling that when the $60B aid package from the US finally arrives, the Ukrainians are going to be retaking a lot of territory.
@@Apollonos let's hope 10 years waiting won't turn into 11
Both are happening
As the old saying goes live to fight another day.
You know it’s BAD when Russia would consider their aircraft being shot down by their own AA to be the better story to tell their people than of Ukraine shooting it down….
Also, here’s my suggestion to solve Ukraine’s funding problems for the foreseeable future: *_Tap into the $300 Billion or so of Russian funds that were frozen at the start of the war._* There NEEDS to be tangible consequences for a nation like Russia trying to overtake another nation by brute force, and no blow hurts like one through the wallet. And it doesn’t have to be the full 300 in one go… Let’s say, Ukraine was drip-feed that money once a month, every month, for the next 5 years… That would be $5 billion a month for the next 5 years, or 60 billion a year… That would be “Small” enough of a donation that it shouldn’t shake things up too much immediately, and would also slowly pressure Russia into ending the war before the entire fund was drained, but it WOULD be large enough in both short and long term to provide Ukraine’s needs without The US or other EU/NATO nations needing to tap into their money for a solid while… In fact, it would provide a steady stream of those billions to them over those 5 years from Ukraine spending them on the military hardware they need (Which is what’s alrwsdy been going on with the aid they’ve received anyway), which would hopefully alleviate some of the global financial woes going on right now.
This is brilliant comment. People from EU, USA, UK: Contact your representatives. Make this happen! Think about this further: Russia's plan is to make the West tired of the war. However, if the Russia knew that Ukraine is going to be well funded, say next 5 years, they might start to think that they have now 'actually killed all the nazis in Ukraine and they can go home'.
I read that they've agreed to give the interest on the frozen funds to Ukraine. Of course, it's not as much as the principal, but every bit helps.
@@Apollonos
And how much is that?
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire I haven't seen a figure on how much the interest is, but the principal is around $300B.
When Russia began sending immigrants to the border of Finland, someone jokingly mentioned an idea to counter this, which was to send some amount of money to Ukraine per immigrant!
No idea where it went, probably nowhere. But it would have been funny if it did happen!
I still can not understand how friendly fire is a better explanation from the Russians than admiting it got shot down.
Imagine you are an Orc general in charge of giving out info. You are 'russian & stronk like bull'. You have to explain to the serfs at home 'you shot down your own plane' or 'Ukraine has a new weapon you don't have & you can't defend against'. Which sounds better to you? For the first few times, friendly fire sounds much better.
What's even more amazing is that the word is that the AWAC was shot down by a S200 missile.
Slava Ukraini and thx for the continued reporting! 💙💛
this nazi words...your ukraini is dying, and will...wake up, they lost
Heroyam Slava !!
Ukrainians are fast runners, (away from the front)😂
Looks like the A50 did a poor job of detecting the missile heading towards it.
It was popping flares the entire time. Maybe even chaff
and?@@BGraves
@@BGravesbecause another jet just got hit also
They lost another plane also
@@soccerguy2433 It may use these flares if it detects a radar signal, which could be a warning of an attack, I think. This could mislead a heat seeking missile. It may have known it was being targetted.
Loss of trained crew is as great a problem as loss of the plane.
Good report and insights. Slava Partisans! Slava Ukraine!
Great job reporting
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️
I don't know why Russia would want to claim that they shot down so many of their own aircraft. It makes them look embarrassingly incompetent.
Yes, there are only 7 of these planes in existence, now.Back when there were 9, it was determined that only 4 of them were fully operational. Now they have lost 2 of the 4 possibly 5 functioning A-50 squads. One less air-frame and one less crew. These jobs take 5 years minimum to train.
250 km and the American missile 150 km. Never underestimate the courage, ingenuity, and genius of the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini!
Range is not everything. America would usually task a figher jet to intercept anything flying, they don't really need to depend on SAM launchers, that is why they have not improved them in a while. And yet the missiles from a Patriot is so much more capable and deadly than anything russia launches. The quality always shines through when you compare western with russian. And ofcourse the western countries all have access to the Meteorite Air to air missile. That one is terryfiing in how good and accurate it is. When F16 finnaly arrive.. the russians will be even more unable to use their gliding bombs than they are now with their planes dropping like flies from the Patriots.
keep in mind that is the publicly disclosed figure USA tends to under report the capabilites of it's weapons
"Well hold on here, let's not 'escalate' things towards Russia"
Heroyam Slava !!
Remember that Ukraine designed and built the USSR’s biggest, most capable ICBMs. They made the fuselage of the US Antares launch vehicle. A large part of the Energia rocket system was designed by Ukraine. People constantly underdog Ukrainian technical abilities.

They fly their IFF off. They do this stuff always. And there are talks that russians cant identify their own aircraft...

According to Russian bots, it doesn't matter the loses, as long as they get Avdiivka.
"Tis but a scratch"
Whether it be:
A. A modified version of a half century+ year old AA system
B. Partisans with MANPADs
Or C. RU being UA’s greatest defender in the skies.
There is no way you can spin this to be anything less than humiliating.
Yeah it is really not a great defense to keep telling your people you constantly shoot down your own fighers and pilots. I would really rather go to prison than fly in those circumstances.
D. F16s.
(Although unlikely against aircraft flying over Russia, even if only the missile crosses the border).
