  1. Good thing for the people onboard that plane their aim is so shit.

  2. How many goddamn times is this going to occur?
    Is the entirety of Russian forces so out of this world undisciplined that they just shoot at whatever they want?
    For decades this continues to happen.

  3. These guys just have a hard-on for civilian casualties, don’t they? Or are they just that stupid?

  4. For those wondering, it’s most likely military used despite being a commercial airliner originally.

    Before the invasion Russia used 3 of them in their military, [2 for Aerospace and 1 in Naval aviation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_Russian_military_aircraft). There was another wiki saying there were 16 in use by military but not sure when it was last updated.

    By 2020, North Korea is apparently the only known country to use these for civilians: [https://www.airdatanews.com/soviet-727-tu-154-aircraft-is-retired-in-russia/](https://www.airdatanews.com/soviet-727-tu-154-aircraft-is-retired-in-russia/)
