The Il-76 is a huge air transport aircraft. In taking these things out this was no lucky shot. Someone knew what to hit and how to do it.

And surprisingly enough, all the collusion material of the Clintons and Ukraine just happened to be on that plane.

Rocket attacks in the “old days” meant that you could hunt down the shooters and drop ordinance on them.

Not so much any more. And they used a drone system from Turkey ... a NATO member.

Information agency reports that these planes were transporting prohibited weapons from Turkey to Libya.

Shocking that Turkey was caught selling “prohibited weapons” to Libya. And that the planes were blasted by rockets from a Turkish drone.

Point 1. Turkish weapons work when fresh.

Point 2. Turkey sells to anyone, especially other Islamic states.
