“I’m on your side but none of this is substantiated in any way.
And it diminishes credibility.”
No Mariner, this is what diminishes credibility. The absolute media B.S. that gets posted endlessly here.
Serbian official says plane was transporting mortar ammo
Ukrainian charter aircraft went down with eight crew aboard
Yesterday kiryandil posted this to me.
Alex Christoforou [banned for a week from YouBloob] related some chatter he’s hearing about the downed plane in Antonov Greece today [18:35] (also the Zaporizhzhia Avenger, the new Goats of Kiev).
Appears to have been Serbian-Bulgarian arms via NATO to Ukraine.
All 8 Ukrainian aircrew died in the crash. Prayers for their families.
I read more about it and posted this back to him.
Looks like we haven’t gotten the actual story here yet.

🇬🇷🇬🇸🇺🇦I decided to look at the night to make inquiries about the arms company “Valir” , which transported some dangerous cargo from Serbia to Bangladesh on a Ukrainian plane that crashed in Greece .
The firm is young, but already acts as a partner of many large defense enterprises. For the implementation of foreign economic activity in the field of weapons and military equipment, it was registered by the Ministry of Trade in December 2019. Revenue for the pandemic 2020 is one and a half billion, for last year - as much as six and a half. An elite office in Belgrade, with a very small staff of about ten people.
Formally, the owner and director is Mladen Bogdanovich- today he took the rap to the media in an attempt to explain what and where the Ukrainian transport was taking. According to him, the export of ammunition intended for training of the Bangladeshi army was agreed in 2021. More Mr. Bogdanovich did not particularly light up anywhere, and almost nothing is known about him. At the same time, the Montenegrin media competently declare that Bogdanovich is only the formal owner of Valir doo, and the Balkan arms baron Slobodan Tesic is actually behind the company . Tešić is one of the largest arms dealers and has been under US sanctions for several years now, along with related businesses. For example, Vectura Trans, through which Serbian weapons ended up in Nagorno-Karabakh in the summer of 2020 and almost cost the Serbs partnership with Azerbaijan. What is interesting: Valir was registered just fifteen days after the Americans tightened sanctions against Tesic. And the contribution to the authorized capital amounted to only 100 Serbian dinars. @balkanossiper — setting global trends since June 28, 1914
And by the way, as someone who NEVER followed any Russian news pro or con prior to 5 months ago when this war broke out AND NOW FOLLOWS 25 DIFFERENT SITES FROM BOTH SIDES ALL DAY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK (our survival as a self governing country is at stake) I can tell you that I have found, hands down, Russia’s news to be the most accurate.
Even though our news media and our government and Zelensky have not once admitted that these NATO weapons have been and are being stolen and sold on the black market, most people who actually follow the news know that that is exactly what has been going on. And as to Israel, I don’t think it is a surprise to find out that if they find out someone is smuggling weapons to their enemies to use on them they are likely to take them out if the opportunity arises.
As I have just posted here this is a very dubious “largest arms dealer” company that the U.S. have already sanctioned.
“Appears to have been Serbian-Bulgarian arms via NATO to Ukraine.”
Is different than arms to Hezbollah.
And different than NATO arms gifted to Ukraine being sold on the black market.
OF COURSE tons of US/NATO arms sent to Ukraine are on the black market. But there is not specific and credible information this flight had arms destined for anywhere in particular, nor what their origin was.
That’s the credibility issue.
I won’t let it pass when the neocons offer it, nor will I let it pass here.
