...so they shot down their own plane and are blaming Israel?
Did I get that right?
They are saying the Israelis used the Russian plane to cover their attack on the Syrian target and draw Syrian AA missiles on it instead of their planes.
They’re blaming Israel because they shot down their own plane when they thought they were shooting down an Israeli plane. Hope that clears things up.

Not long ago,the Iran government accused Israel of stealing their clouds and their rain.
Yep, that's called sneaky good.
Did I get that right?
It's the Joooooooos! It's always the Jooooooos!
1) Iran is part of the mix. Iran has been operating in northern Syria, which is where the Israeli air strike occurred. Iran has been using the Syrian civil war to creep closer to Israel and Israel has been pushing them back, because Israel knows that Iran is all about destroying Israel.
2) The main thing Russia is mad at is that, yet again, Israel has demonstrated to the world that Russian air defenses sold to other countries are completely worthless.
The Russians need to develop some bigger balls. They willing jumped into the deep end of a nasty civil war in a region known for byzantine politics, longheld grudges and incompetent militaries (Israel aside). Losses were inevitable. Instead they follow their usual playbook; fire off any number of wild theories (the French did it! It’s the Israeli’s fault!) to muddy the waters before whining that everyone’s anti-Russian.
NOW look what you made me do ! ..... MAAAAAAAAA .....
