“Two US officials confirmed that Ukraine shot down a second Il-76 transport aircraft tonight. If true, this would be a really significant mistake for the Russian military, and possibly the worst loss of life for the Russian Airborne Forces since the 2nd Chechen War. Keep in mind that some Il-76 would be mostly carrying airborne armored vehicles and others would be full of paratroopers. Not clear what these Il-76 transport aircraft were carrying.”
