The spokesperson for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ihnat, said during the telethon that Russia has less than eight A-50 aircraft left.

The head of the GUR, Kyrylo Budanov, said that there were eight planes before that (before the last downing - ed.). Not all of them were operational, not all of them were modernized. So, let's say, there were eight on the fingers of one hand

- Ignat noted.

Recall

The russian military said that an A-50 military aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov. The occupiers claimthat the plane was shot down by "friendly fire" from russian air defense. Subsequently, the commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Mykola Oleshchuk confirmed the information about the destruction of the russian A-50.
