Two A-50 early warning aircraft were hit by the “Spider”, along with a Tu-95MS bomber loaded with X-101 missiles — according to still frames from an SBU video.

According to monitoring estimates, more than 10 cruise missiles may have been destroyed along with the aircraft at the airfield.

There was a rumour that Russia was planning a large missile strike prior to this drone strike and Ukraine knew about it. Which would also create a question of how Ukraine knew about the attack coming before the planes were even in the sky. More than 10 cruise missiles destroyed because many of these planes were already equipped with them, does suggest they were about to use them for an attack.
