Putin's troops blast one of their own £19million Ka-29 assault helicopters out of the sky in latest humiliating friendly fire blunder
Daily Mail ^ | 6/21/2024 | Will Stewart

Russia's armed forces suffered a new blow today when its air defences shot down one of its own military helicopters near the war zone.

The latest friendly fire nightmare resulted in the death of all four crew members, it was reported.

The £19 million Ka-29 assault helicopter was on duty hunting for Ukrainian kamikaze sea drones near Black Sea resort Anapa this morning when it was hit by a Russian Pantsir medium-range surface-to-air missile in an incident of mistaken targeting.

The Russians blamed the blunder on a malfunction of the 'friend or foe' identification system.

You should be able to read those fact checks and figure out that it never happened, the claims came from nowhere and with no real source, just like the other fake stories of the various yachts, mansions in Florida and Egypt, they come from nowhere and get passed around, just as they are supposed to.

The one that you linked to would have been difficult to pull off anyway if you look at the timeline and locations.

These would be big stories with lots of photos and celebrity, but they aren’t real.

Yeah, the thing is, I don’t believe anything Newsweak says.

It isn’t that you have to believe a statement, look into the evidence they present, the claims don’t make sense and they have no basis.

Do you remember the last big Yacht story, there have been others but the last one was this.
“Ukraine’s Zelensky CAUGHT buying $75 million luxury yacht with U.S. money”

It should have been obvious that it was a ridiculous story and one that would have turned the world against Ukraine destroying public sympathy, but look at how hard it is to get people to look at the lack of credibility in the internet planting of the silly story.

I never bought the yacht story.

I’m undecided on the shopping sprees, but it doesn’t matter what I think.

I don’t like Zelensky. I think he, Putin and Biden are all crooks and I trust none of them.

Having honest opinions is fine but to remain sane one must be true and seek to know what is true, no matter whose horse is being gored.

Thanks. I wasn’t asking for permission or advice, though. 😏

It was a statement and obviously not about permission, you did throw in the part about who you like and dislike, which shouldn’t play a part in seeking the truth of someone’s fake story.

Don’t tell me what I should and shouldn’t do. I already told you, I am not seeking your advice.

Now, you have become quite boring. I will allow you the last word. I’m weary of this tiresome, circular conversation. Have a nice evening.

It does appear that it was useless.

Being an apologist for Putin makes you a Trump supporter?

Interesting.

The way you casually throw about the term NAZI shows that you know absolutely nothing about history... The Nazis and the Commie’s who you obviously support invaded Poland in 1939. Your ignorance duly noted.
