The President will find out about it on MSNBC on Monday.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Can’t ignore this. Didn’t happen on Friday afternoon.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

right,if this had happened on a Friday,Bambi would of found out about it on Wednesday after 6 days of fund-raising.

[dforest]

It is a war zone.

[Abathar]

I guess the big question now is who shot them down...

[McGruff]

I thought they declared a cease fire zone there.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

And what the response will be...

So since the thugs of Donetsk don’t have an air force [unless you want to count the Russian one], and Russia denies having supplied SAMs to the thugs, then how were they shot down???

[SampleMan]

Side issue, Su-25s are not fighter planes.

I do tire of the media’s military definitions.

Fighter = All military aircraft with <4 engines

Tank = All armored vehicles

Battleship = Frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and sometimes aircraft carriers

Aircraft carrier = anything you can fit 3 or more helicopters on

Soldier = anyone in uniform

Naval officer = 3rd class petty officers and up

Ballistic missile = every missile that isn’t shoulder fired

Missile = Anything that comes off an aircraft

Bomb = Anything that comes off an aircraft

Pilot = Any member of an aircraft’s crew

Military ranks = too confusing to mention

[skeeter]

AK-47 = any kind of firearm longer than 18 inches.

[McGruff]

Were they practicing shadowing a commercial airliner?

Yes, you can fly to Kiev. Just not Tel Aviv

“I thought they declared a cease fire zone there.”.....

Only on the ground, anything above 500 feet is fair game.

[Uncle Miltie]

This is impossible because Putin told us the separatists don’t have anti-aircraft missiles.

[DTA]

Ever heard of MANPADs and AA guns? No need for SAM to shoot a fighter jet down.

Air support fighter jets usually fly below 15,000ft, military transports also, well in the range of AAA and MANDPADs.

You love to call people who defend their homes from illegal junta "thugs".

So, I believe your heart is on the side of Ukrainian Nazis who burn people alive and murdered hundreds of civilians so far. Your choice. Only make sure you find better arguments to defend it.

Great summary and very true.
