Pavlo Lakiichuk, head of security programs at the Center for Global Studies Strategy XXI, stated this on Espreso TV."Not just one A-60, the destruction of two aircraft at the production sites of the Beriev enterprise has been confirmed. The first is the A-100, a long-range radar detection aircraft that was not completed. They were meant to replace the A-50s, which were well-damaged by our forces. The locator had not yet been installed there; it burned down. It is unique; in fact, there are only two such aircraft. The A-60, also based on the Il-76, are experimental aircraft for testing the laser weapons of the Russian Federation," he said.Pavlo Lakiichuk noted that the assembly shop of this plant was also hit. He considers this attack a very sensitive blow for Russia."So, in one go, they cut off this entire line for the Russian military-industrial complex, plus the assembly shop of the Beriev plant was hit. That is, this is a very sensitive blow for the occupying state. And the fact that the strike was carried out in a combined manner with our Neptunes, drones, and jet drones, adds another plus to our karma, as they say. These are very complex operations, in fact, to break through the enemy's air defense. It's extremely difficult, but our Defense Forces coped with it. This is a good foundation to continue in this direction," he added.In an effort to diminish Russia's military, economic, and offensive potential, the Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked a series of targets on the night of November 25.
