KYIV, Ukraine – Ukraine´s air force claimed Friday it shot down a Russian strategic bomber, but Moscow officials said the plane crashed in a sparsely populated area due to a malfunction after a combat mission.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy repeated Kyiv officials´ almost daily appeals for more Western air defense systems, again drawing a parallel with how Israel blunted a recent Iranian attack. Ukraine said the air force and military intelligence cooperated to bring down the Tu-22M3 bomber with anti-aircraft missiles. Russia commonly uses the bomber to fire Kh-22 cruise missiles at Ukrainian targets from inside its own airspace. The plane can also carry nuclear warheads.
