The Ukrainian side admits to being shot down. The Tu-22M3 bombers were heading for Ukraine to launch air-ground missiles into the town of Dnipro. Ukrainians say they managed to fire on bombers, possibly a fewer machines. The 1 going forward was to be hit and the another was forced to turn around (which is besides the success of the air defense, whose main goal is to force the opponent to cease acting. The shooting is simply a desirable additional effect, the defence has led to the fact that in the Ukrainian city was launched much little Ch-22 missiles than planned by the Russians).
