That is after they said it was a bird strike and blamed Ukraine.

Russia did this to their own people. It’s a common theme lately and it’s not like Ukraine did that shit. No. Russia shooting their own is a new norm

Don’t tell me they failed once again to identify that plane and shot it down?

Bet ya it was a shouldered strela anti air rocket, judging by the holes in the plane and the fact it wasn’t ripped apart and managed to make it to Kazakhstan.

Russians being russian, knowing damn well they shot down another airliner.

No need to hypothesize if you know for a fact what happened.

Can’t even find it on RT. The top headlines are all about “Ukraine terrorism”(that sunken boat near Spain, the assassination of Russian generals etc).
Which is ironic coming from the country bombing Christmas markets.

Hypothesize what? That they shot it down? Really?

They would have a hard time disproving their mistake, easier to just shrug and stay quiet

So… Russia shot it down?
I mean, their iff system apparently is outdated and they jam GPS so bad it’s not hard to believe the plane was in the wrong spot.
Sooner or later they’re going to do this to a NATO plane. Their stupidity knows no limits.

all but basically a confession if that’s their current response.

I was surprised to see Novaya Gazeta still around. Have they stopped criticizing Putin and his war?

Weird…
They usualy like to hypothesise, I’d say they like to state multiple facts and constants about almost anything.
Somebody got sick today?

It’s highly embarrassing for them that an air defense missile target continued to fly for hundreds of miles after being “hit” (i.e. prox fuse detonated).
Now imagine if that had been a bomber rather than a passenger aircraft.
Perhaps their air defense technology is as crappy as their infantry.

You can’t expect Kremlin to give truthful answer in the first place.

Translation: Yes, we know we shot down a civilian plane but we are not ever going to admit we did anything wrong. Even Iran had the balls to admit when they screwed up and accidentally shot down a civilian plane but Russia has none.
