Bogomolov farm, Stavropol Territory -
💥 As a result of the GUR operation in cooperation with the Air Force, the Tu-22MZ bomber, which launched missiles over Ukraine today, was destroyed
🤝 One of the Tu-22M3 long-range bombers, which carried out a missile attack against Ukraine on the night of April 19, was shot down as a result of a special operation of the Main Directorate of Intelligence in cooperation with the Air Force.
✔️ The enemy Tu-22MZ aircraft was shot down at a distance of about 300 kilometers from Ukraine by the same means that were previously used to shoot down 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 region, where it fell and crashed.
❗️ It should be noted that this is the first successful destruction of a strategic bomber in the air during a combat sortie during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
💀 There will be just retribution for every war crime committed against Ukraine.
🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!
Love to see it! Particularly since this was likely a craft that was participating in the attack. Instant karma.
