a man portable air defence missile
Seems to be confirmation Russia has smashed and obliterated all the Patriots and various NATO supplied air defense systems....
Seems to be confirmation that EVERYTHING confirms the masturbatory fantasies of Putin Fanbois.
No, the Russians (and Ukrainians) are not stupid.
Both sides know the vulnerability of this slow jet.
They both operate it low, and far from any real air defense systems, as it would be immediately shot down (as tons were in both sides). The su-25 really is littler more than a flying coffin, these days.
