How about Siberia 1812?
You brought it up and would like to talk about it.
No one is stopping you nor do you require my attention to do so. Knock yourself out!
My point is, Ukraine is not entirely blameless.
I'm sure the MIJI'ing they did afterward was "accidental," too.Like I said, two civilian airliner shootdowns in a decade makes it pretty clear that even if it's an "accident", they don't care enough to ensure it doesn't happen.
Everything I've seen thus far suggests a frankly commendable and heroic effort by the pilots to keep the airplane pointed somewhere they actually wanted to point it.
Seriously guys, the Russians were just protecting themselves, nothing to see here.
Exclusive: Russian missile caused Aktau crash, investigation confirms
38 passengers were killed on Wednesday after Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8432 crashed as it attempted to make an emergency landing near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan.www.euronews.com
The juicy part from the link
"Azerbaijani government sources have exclusively confirmed to Euronews on Thursday that a Russian surface-to-air missile caused the Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in Aktau on Wednesday.
According to the sources, the missile was fired at Flight 8432 during drone air activity above Grozny, and the shrapnel hit the passengers and cabin crew as it exploded next to the aircraft mid-flight.
Government sources have told Euronews that the damaged aircraft was not allowed to land at any Russian airports despite the pilots’ requests for an emergency landing, and it was ordered to fly across the Caspian Sea towards Aktau in Kazakhstan.
According to data, the plane’s GPS navigation systems were jammed throughout the flight path above the sea."
Granted it's a one sided report from the Azerbaijan government, but it fits Russian MO, and is especially damning if true that they were denied landing.
So you’re blaming the skirt.
Good for you. Not something I’d lead with, but thank you for offering your opinion or something.
Screw Russia, but first let me defend them by creating a deep conspiracy based on no evidence that cleans their hands of this extremely vile act.Again. Why they attacking as far away as Grozny?
Ukraine has opened a new can of worms when it comes to war tactics with drones. Other nations and factions will adopt this type of warfare. One day it will bite us in the ass.
Screw Ukraine, Russia. Couldn’t care less about either one.
If this is true. I want to know what SAM system it was that wasn’t m able to hit a non-maneuvering airliner aircraft and had to rely on its prox fuze for detonation.

Surely you have enough social skills to understand how this is perceived and maybe not the best thing to type up on an Internet forum. Not rocket science and I refuse to believe you’re that out of touch lol

Why do you want my attention so bad?
It’s flattering, if I were looking to be flattered, but it’s actually tremendously creepy.
Thank you for your unsolicited opinion, but go get some fresh air and enjoy your day. I’m not as exciting, in real life, than I am to you online.
