Here is an interesting article I found that I think is about this event. It was a team effort between Ukrania S-300 and US Patriot PAC-3 missile systems to lure the planes in and then destroy them.
Sounds like there are only a dozen Russian A-50 remaining in operation, even fewer in the modern configuration, and even fewer qualified radar techs trained to man the tracking stations in the rear.
