"In fact, it's hard to call it a remnant, because we managed to eliminate a smaller part (of A-50 aircraft - ed.). According to intelligence, the Russians still have about 7 aircraft of this type, which they are now continuing to modernize. They had 2 modernized aircraft that we managed to hit. But of course, the planes that they have left are still quite old and it is very difficult to use them. (...) So they have the potential, but the question is how quickly they will be able to prepare them (the military - ed.), because quite a few materials and components that these sophisticated planes require are not used or produced in Russia. The question of how quickly they can restore them remains open. We have proven that we can fight with such means," Yevlash said.
Recall
On February 23, it was reported that an A-50 military aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov. Also on January 14, Ukraine shot down a Russian A-50 and an Il-22 over the Sea of Azov.
