The Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down two russian aircraft over the Sea of Azov.
This happened an hour and a half ago. The A-50 was shot down and the IL-22 was shot down, but was in the air and trying to get to the nearest airfield. Disappeared from radar in the Kerch area.

This rumor seems to have solidified, but even taking into account longer range assets (Patriot, AMRAAM) getting two hits this deep behind the front lines > (150km) is puzzling.
EDIT 1 & 2
From analyzing satellite images of contrails it looks Like something was tracking much further north than the above image and within patriot range.
Also the IL-22 looks like it made it back to base
Source for both here.
