Picture of the damaged plane in Belarus in this link

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/28/world/europe/russian-plane-belarus-damage.html


Quoting in part:


Satellite images collected on Tuesday showed possible damage, but could not confirm the extent.

The images clearly show the plane, an A-50 early warning and control aircraft, is structurally intact. However, they also show a new dark spot on the plane’s large radar disc, indicating possible damage. The satellite images do not conclusively show whether the plane was still functional.

For its analysis, The New York Times reviewed three different satellite images, captured over the span of 90 minutes on Tuesday morning, and compared them with a series of archival satellite images and a video of the plane from recent weeks.

An A-50 airplane has regularly been at the airfield in Belarus since at least December 2022. In Tuesday’s imagery, the plane can be seen 3,000 feet south of its usual parking position.
