Noch eine Nachricht zu dieser Drohnen-Attacke auf eine Air Base in Belarus. Dabei wurde Ende Februar eines der wenigen A-50-Frühwarnflugzeuge der Russen beschädigt - die Maschine wurde danach aber zwecks Reparaturen ausgeflogen, d. h. die Schäden waren an der Struktur selbst wohl eher überschaubar. Dennoch wird der Ausfall der Maschine als kritisch bewertet, da er die Operationen der russischen Luftwaffe vermutlich stark beeinflusst.

Zitat:Ukraine Situation Report: Belarus Admits Russian A-50 Radar Jet Damaged In Drone Attack [...]https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/uk...one-attack
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko has claimed that more than 20 people have been arrested following a drone attack on a Russian A-50 Mainstay airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft at Machulishchy Air Base, Belarus, late last month. [...] As well as the claimed terrorist suspect, described as a dual Russian-Ukrainian national, other individuals said to have been accomplices are now in custody, according to Lukashenko. [...]
BYPOL, an organization of Belarusian military dissidents opposed to the Lukashenko government, claimed to have used two drones to attack the A-50, damaging it in two critical places — its radome and its upper forward fuselage area — on February 26. [...] Subsequently, BYPOL released a video showing what it said was one of its drones landing on the A-50’s radar dome, followed by another video that showed a drone touching down on the forward fuselage. In both cases, the footage is inconclusive when it comes to confirming whether the claimed drone attack actually caused any damage to the radar plane. [...]
The latest satellite imagery obtained by The War Zone reveals that, as of yesterday, the A-50 was no longer at Machulishchy. Since the weather was overcast in the previous days, it's possible that the aircraft actually returned to Russia days before then.
