Marine targets are detected by radar at a distance of up to 400 km. The aircraft crew can track up to 150 targets at the same time and direct several dozen combat aircraft towards them.

“The A-50 is an important element in the effective use of aviation missiles, high-precision bombs, as well as Caliber, Kh-101 and Kh-555 cruise missiles against air defense and anti-aircraft installations. other particularly important targets in Ukraine. this type are the “eyes” of the Russian air force and allow the detection of the most important targets of the Ukrainian armed forces in the depths of Ukrainian territory. The A-50s are used both for prepare missile strikes against military targets and to assess their effectiveness, ”explains the Voyennaya Khronika telegram channel.
