That's a possibility, but it's also very likely that Russia was expecting F-16s in the sky attempting to shoot down the cruise missiles, and therefore had air defense or fighter jets prepared to shoot them down.
A Russian missile exploded near the F-16 shortly before it disappeared off the radar, a U.S. official said, leading to one theory that the explosion either damaged the aircraft or led the pilot to maneuver too low to the ground, contributing to the crash, according to the U.S. official. While Ukraine is leading the investigation, U.S. advisers based in other parts of Europe are advising, defense officials said.
There it is. And still they still try to blame the pilot. It wouldn't have been nearly as bad if they just acknowledged up-front that the plane got shot down by Russia. Instead they put out like five different stories first...
I just checked google maps, and each of the impacts appear to be within ~100m of potential targets, if the runway counts.
Iran separately advertised the Emad to potential international buyers as having a 50-meter (164-foot) circle
Hmm 2 * 50... Almost like they specifically chose coordinates to avoid hitting anything important, while proving that they could hit stuff if they wanted to.
I'm not looking forward to WW3, but I have to admit that the catharsis will be immense when the gloves finally come off.
Large Ukrainian convoy (dozens of what appear to be cargo/troop trucks) hit by multiple missiles in Sumy. Probably on the way to reinforce the Kursk (Cursed) offensive.
Please just give up already
Really strange how liberals seem to believe invading a neighboring country is somehow morally worse than invading a country on the other side of the planet.
So, thank you all. God bless you all. And let’s go — let’s go la- — lick the world. Let’s get it done. Thank you. (Applause.)
I love how the IOF goons always run around like chickens with their heads chopped off after being shot at. Also makes me wish the snipers had more bullets.
