Russian Telegram’s take on the A-50 shootdown. This explanation, whilst trying to make it seem like an accidental friendly fire incident, ends up showing Ukraine as even more ingenious than the Ukrainian story. Interesting theory, but either way the plane is down!

1. Wait. Ruzzians are saying that ukraine did in fact attack the a-50, but Russia AA attempting to shoot down the Ukrainian s200, accidentally shot their own plane? That’s even worse than just saying ua shot down the plane.

2. What the heck did I just read? This sounds like a Roadrunner vs. Coyote arc

   Edit: does someone has this video about the fire traps?

3. How these idiots live this long and not extinct

4. Either way it worked. Good on Ukraine!

5. Does someone have more knowledge about the “Israel already pulled that manoeuvre” part?
   I think I understand the concept of what he think occurred but don’t fully get how the air defence missed the S-200 and hit the A-50 instead.

6. Good news then. All Ukraine has to do is lob missiles in the direction of occupied territory and Russians will shoot down their own aircraft in a panic. Sounds very repeatable.
