Putin UNLEASHES Biggest 'Missile Hunter' After Russia Shoots Down 500+ Ukrainian Drones

After Ukraine reportedly fired more than 500 drones towards Russia, Moscow has reportedly deployed its advanced aircraft to strengthen its air defences. The Russian military has reportedly deployed its advanced A-50U airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft to strengthen air defences against Ukraine's growing long-range cruise missile threat. According to a report, the Russian Aerospace Forces used the A-50U to support missile defence efforts following reported FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile launches aimed at strategic targets inside Russia, including the Votkinsk Machine-Building Plant, a key producer of Iskander-M ballistic missiles. The aircraft's powerful Shmel-II radar and elevated surveillance capabilities reportedly enable earlier detection of low-flying cruise missiles while coordinating fighter aircraft and layered air defence systems. #Russia #Ukraine #vladimirputin #volodymyrzelensky #Putin #Zelenskyy #A50U #AEWC #CruiseMissiles #Iskander #MilitaryNews #RussiaUkraineWar Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
