Can’t ignore this. Didn’t happen on Friday afternoon.

“Uhhhh,looks like we may have a workplace related plane crash in the Ukraine”.Uhhr,and Uhh,It might be a possible tragedy.
So since the thugs of Donetsk don’t have an air force [unless you want to count the Russian one], and Russia denies having supplied SAMs to the thugs, then how were they shot down???
Side issue, Su-25s are not fighter planes.
I do tire of the media’s military definitions.
Fighter = All military aircraft with <4 engines
Tank = All armored vehicles
Battleship = Frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and sometimes aircraft carriers
Aircraft carrier = anything you can fit 3 or more helicopters on
Soldier = anyone in uniform
Naval officer = 3rd class petty officers and up
Ballistic missile = every missile that isn’t shoulder fired
Missile = Anything that comes off an aircraft
Bomb = Anything that comes off an aircraft
Pilot = Any member of an aircraft’s crew
Military ranks = too confusing to mention
AK-47 = any kind of firearm longer than 18 inches.
Were they practicing shadowing a commercial airliner?

Yes, you can fly to Kiev. Just not Tel Aviv
“I thought they declared a cease fire zone there.”.....
Only on the ground, anything above 500 feet is fair game.
This is impossible because Putin told us the separatists don’t have anti-aircraft missiles.
Air support fighter jets usually fly below 15,000ft, military transports also, well in the range of AAA and MANDPADs.
You love to call people who defend their homes from illegal junta "thugs".
So, I believe your heart is on the side of Ukrainian Nazis who burn people alive and murdered hundreds of civilians so far. Your choice. Only make sure you find better arguments to defend it.
Great summary and very true.
