I’ve seen rumors of that, there are apparently videos of Russian air defenses firing at it too.
Nothing official as far as I’ve seen (but I haven’t seen it all), and the videos of Russian defenses firing might have been firing at the missiles inbound to the A-50 vs at the A-50.
What matters is that it was disassembled rapidly at altitude.
Ukrainian air defenses say it was their work and it was (perhaps some new variant of) S-200. There are, of course, other explanations of varying credibility, such as:
it was Patriot (it was outside of maximum range)
it was Meteor or HARM integrated on F-16 or Gripen that already are out there
it was SOF MANPADS team
it was friendly fire (official russian copium)
it was meteorite strike (it just happens in russia)
it was ukrainian SAM, they just hid it in krasnodar region
it was F22 sneakily firing whatever
it was friendly fire, but caused by bribing russian S300 crew
it was Girkin after breaking out of jail
it was Prigozhin maneouver
it just did that
what really happened? we may never know. the truth is out there
New intel from NCD: The A50 had too much spicy food last night and had a fatal case of diarrhea. This is supported by video evidence of bright red projectiles from the rear of the aircraft.
wait, is this saying the most recent A-50 was friendly fire?

or maybe Granit was moved to airforce
Another rumor is man pads from within Russian territory.
Are those for when you are manstruating?
Portable anti air launchers in case you were actually unaware
