Related: About this forumWatch: Russia 'accidentally shoots down own spy plane'
Russian forces have accidentally shot down their own £275 million spy plane over occupied Ukraine, pro-Kremlin military bloggers have said.
Vladimir Romanov said that the Beriev A-50 Soviet-built plane crashed near the Sea of Azov after it was hit by a missile fired from Mariupol, the Ukrainian city that Russian forces captured in 2022.
The enemy has nothing to do with it again. The launches were from the Mariupol area, he told his 140,000 followers. After being hit by an air defence missile (not fired by the enemy), the A-50 broke into two parts.
Mr Romanov also uploaded two videos of the alleged shooting down of the A-50. The first video shows air defence missiles targeting a plane and the second of the alleged crash site with a woman commentator describing a huge explosion.

Some of those videos claim that the aircraft came down in the village of Trudovaya Armenia, in the Krasnodar region, in southern Russia, close to the Sea of Azov.
Sometimes the ruzzians think it's better to say they shot down their own plane than give credit to the Ukraine air force..
As usual they just lie and lie and lie..
LIke the GOP..
