  1. From the article:

    > 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.

    > The missile was fired from a Pantsir-S air defence system, Baku-based international outlet AnewZ reported, citing Azerbaijani government sources.

    > According to Russian sources, at the time the Azerbaijan Airlines flight was passing over the territory of Chechnya, Russian air defence forces were actively attempting to shoot down Ukrainian UAVs.

    > The head of the Security Council of the Chechen Republic, Khamzat Kadyrov, confirmed that a drone attack on Grozny took place on Wednesday morning, noting that there were no casualties or damage.

  2. There will be zero repercussions for this, just like the other incidents.

  3. At what point does doing this shit become an act of war?

  4. People died again due to the Russian population of terrorists 

  5. And Russia has the audacity to say the ship that sunk was a terrorist attack! How many planes is Russia going to shoot down! How many innocent lives lost because Putins ego is too big to know this war needs to stop

  6. The fact that they jammed the radar, refused them an airport to land in, and then told them to fly over the sea, seems like they definitely wanted it to crash into the water so that it would be much easier to cover up.

    Instead, they now have all the evidence, and it’s out there in the open immediately.

  7. So they try to shoot down the plane and then direct the plane to the Caspian so they can continue to finish the job murdering civilians.

  8. They really like killing civvies, and once again likely no consequences for this shit, when are we going to punish these people for murdering innocent people

  9. They did this for the second time, they need to have consequences for this kind of shit. Ffs, russia is like a deranged neighbor for whole Europe and we have to casually deal with the shit they do.

  11. They should have a forever embargo for all western aligned civilian aircraft producers.

    Even after the war is ended.

  14. ANOTHER passenger airliner shot down by Russia. How do they still have a vote at the UN much less veto power? The rest of the world needs to stand up against them and let them know that Putin goes or you fight all of us. Let the Russian people choose what they want to do.

  16. How long is the rest the world going to let Russia get away with this?

  20. So how many civilian planes has this country blown out of the air now? I’m starting to lose count.

  21. When will enough be enough? Russia needs to be blacklisted and shunned by every other government. No trade, no travel. Cut them off completely

  23. Russia confirmed for the 999999th time that it’s the largest terrorist organization on the planet. It’s insane how much land they occupy on our planet.

  24. You let Russia shoot down one airliner, it invites them to do another. You let Russia invade one country, it invites them to invade another. Jesus fucking Christ when will the madness end.

  25. No one is asking the question that matters here… why?

  27. Great, so now let’s do nothing about it, and let Russia get away with it

  29. Always drunk stupid Russians, shooting missiles at unverified aircrafts

  30. Russia is a terrorist state, brand them as such. It’s the only way.

  31. As usual, I read this info on Reddit subs yesterday while news stations were all talking about engine failure and bird strikes.

  32. Fucking sociopathic how they forced this plane to land without assistance.

    I have to give props to the pilots. They almost made it.

  33. With every passing day my hatred and disdain for Russia grows a little bit more

  34. Russian missile “causing” a crash is a unique way of saying “Russia deliberately shot down an innocent civilian airliner”

  35. I’m sure there’s gonna be some harsh words said about this! Insane how one country is constantly killing innocent people and has shot down multiple fucking civilian aircraft, and the worlds response will be words. Fuck russia.

  36. The weird part is that this isn’t even the only civilian air plane the Russians have shot down recently.

    The current Russian regime are unhinged. How does the world tolerate this?

  37. Man, Russia is really really bad at this war thing.

  38. how about we all label Russia as a terrorist state this time? or do we have to wait for yet another plane to go down?

  39. If Ukraine stopped defending itself this wouldn’t have happened.

    – The Pope (probably)

  40. That makes two planes shot down by Russia in less than 15 years. When are we going to start holding this stupid country accountable for their actions as a global community?

  42. “Their plane hit out missile! We are out of one missile now! We shall seek compensation for property loss.”

  43. Of course! we haven’t forgotten MH 17.

    may the criminals burn in hell
