A Russian plane, presumably an A-50U, official media reported about an unknown aircraft, crashed near the Trudovaya Armenia farm in the Kanevsky district of the Krasnodar Territory. The wreckage of the plane was found by local residents. There is no official information about the type of aircraft yet. Ukrainian media reported that the A-50 plane was shot down by Ukrainian air defense, but this is unlikely, since the nearest point of the front line is from 210 to 265 kilometers, and the firing range of the Patriot air defense system is 160 kilometers. It is worth noting that local residents filmed the flight of the plane; the video shows the plane shooting at a heat trap; this is done when the plane detected a missile launch or radar radiation. Also, one of the local residents recorded the launch of an unknown missile during the flight of the plane. It is also possible that a sabotage group equipped with MANPADS penetrated into the Krasnodar region.

Footage of the use in Ukraine, by Russian Su-35 aircraft, presumably of Kh-35U missiles. Despite the fact that the Kh-35 missile is considered anti-ship, a modified version of the Kh-35U, equipped with a Gran-K seeker, can also hit ground-based radars at a range of up to 260 kilometers. The missile has a warhead of 145 kilograms and flies at an altitude of 20–50 meters, skirting the earth's surface. The video shows a Kh-35U missile hitting the Ukrainian P-18 all-round radar station, which was put into service in 1970 and designed to detect air targets.
