--- "Putin may have aiming at Santa in his flying sleigh, but he actually hit an Azeri airliner."

And in other, quite similar news....

"...two F/A-18 Super Hornets were flying above the US guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg during anti-Houthi missions in the region when the Navy launched a pair of surface-to-air missiles from the ship. While the first US jet was accidentally struck by one of the weapons — with the pilots safely ejecting from the aircraft before it crashed — the second plane took evasive maneuvers to avoid the missile aiming at it."

Second Navy jet nearly brought down by friendly fire in Red Sea NY Post, 24 December 2024

Friendly fire incidents began when our ancestors first began to throw rocks and sticks. Putin though doing video of shooting down Santa Claus takes it to a higher level, as does the Russian refusal to permit a landing by the Azeri airliner after they hit it by mistake.
