On January 14, a Russian A-50 Mainstay airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov.
This is one of the most significant hits Ukraine has been able to execute since the conflict started.
There was a lot of speculation about how Ukraine managed to do this since this was a long-range hit.
According to a U.S. Army officer, a U.S.-made Patriot air defense system was used for this.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how the U.S.-made Patriot air defense system was able to take out a Russian A-50 ?
