Putin apologizes to Aliyev over ‘tragic incident’ with Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash
Times of Israel ^ | 12/28/2024 | Staff

Russian President Vladimir Putin apologizes to Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, for what the Kremlin said was a “tragic incident” in Russian airspace involving the Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan on December 25.

Putin tells Aliyev that Russian air defense was active when an Azerbaijani Airlines plane tried to land in Grozny before it crashed in a phone call, the Kremlin says.

“During this time, Grozny, (the town of) Mozdok and Vladikavkaz were being attacked by Ukrainian combat drones and Russian air defense was repelling these attacks,” the Kremlin says Putin told Aliyev, without explicitly acknowledging that that Russian air defenses hit the plane.

That’s the CORRECT move by Putin. I notice that this apology has gotten the ZEEPERS worked into a frenzy for some odd reason.

Clown Tsar Putin and his forces get kicked of Syria by Erdogan and his Jihadist forces.
Next, this hapless band of idiots shoot down an Azerbaijani airplane. Because Roooski air defense systems are low quality. Mistook a civilian airplane for a military threat.

Base takeaway is that the Russian authorities concede it WAS “friendly fire”.

Such a waste of time trying to educate the zeeper squad. If you can't understand this article it means the Russian bases are still there.

12.27.2024
The new Syrian authorities do not intend to terminate the agreements under which Russia uses military bases in Syria in the near future

.

"▪️Russia seeks to preserve the legal status of its bases. The negotiations are focused on ensuring that military action and regime change are not considered force majeure and grounds for terminating long-term lease agreements for facilities in the provinces of Tartus and Latakia. Until the end of the negotiations, the Syrian side does not intend to terminate the agreements — the source said."

Oh, pull yer head out.

Has the US never been attacked by planes? Are you brain dead?

In the middle of an attack how is anyone supposed to know that the plane about to land is not full of explosives? Radar and GPS jamming is SOProcedure during an attack. Doing anything other than that is suicidal.
This is why no US carrier is allowed to operate in the area. The Azer airlines is totally responsible for this.

Syrian Jihad rebels are all over the place on Putin’s bases there.
We shall see what happens to them. These bases were no-charge by Assad. The rebels will want to be paid.

Getting tens of thousands of Russians killed for no good reason is not how a Russian leader “loves his country.”

Humiliates his country, maybe.
