Ukraine claims its sea drones sank a Russian warship. Moscow says Patriot missiles downed its plane
Ukraine is claiming it used sea drones to sink a Russian warship in the Black Sea during a nighttime attack.
"Downed its plane" is burying the lede lol "The aircraft was carrying captive Ukrainian military personnel who had been slated to be exchanged in a prisoner swap."
Russia’s Il-76 plane was presumably downed by Patriot missile system - source — TASS
The Ukrainian armed forces shot down an Il-76 military cargo aircraft over Russia's borderline Belgorod Region on January 24. It was presumably downed by a Western-made Patriot missile system, a law enforcement source told TASS.
"Most likely, a Patriot missile system was used. A probe continues" he said. Another source confirmed this information to TASS.
Il-76 crash
The Ukrainian armed forces shot down an Il-76 military cargo aircraft over Russia's borderline Belgorod Region on January 24. The aircraft was carrying captive Ukrainian military personnel who had been slated to be exchanged in a prisoner swap. The crash killed all 74 people on board, including 65 Ukrainian POWs. The Russian Defense Ministry described the incident as a terrorist attack, pointing out that Kiev had been aware of the mission to transport Ukrainian POWs for a prisoner swap set to take place at the Kolotilovka checkpoint. However, Kiev attacked the plane in order to accuse Moscow of killing Ukrainian service members, the ministry noted.
Only five bodies were recovered, which is about normal for the crew of the plane. There is no evidence of any prisoners. None of the photos or videos from the crash site show a large number of bodies. Russia lied, as usual.
"Russia lied as usual"
Amazing how you managed to lose multiple counteroffensives while winning the entire time. Do you ever get the feeling that maybe you're the one getting duped?
