The International Institute for Strategic Studies has also assessed those two A-50s as “almost certainly non-operational aircraft”. https://www.iiss.org/online-analysis/military-balance/2025/06/operation-spiderweb-an-assessment-of-russian-aerospace-forces-losses/
(Still worth more than the cost of one drone each, but of course absolutely not comparable in value to an A-50 that can be used.)
