🔥 Today, February 29, is a date that occurs once every four years, but it is already a familiar day for Russians with the loss of another plane.

Minus⚠️ Su-34 in the Eastern direction! Thanks for the work!

    Keep in mind that they may not be dead. They have ejection seats, and AFAIK, these are being shot down over Russian-controlled territory (well, the first A-50 went down over water, IIRC).

      True, some will probably have survived, and some of those may even fly again (some percentage usually sustain disqualifying injuries during ejection). The A-50 crews probably had no way to bail out, though, regardless of where they were shot down.
