I got clobbered for saying essentially the same thing a few days ago.
Prepare for incoming...
I don’t think very many people believe it was not a accidental act, but it was caused by something totally un-necessary and it’s the second time they have done it.
With advanced weapon systems, these things should not occur but they do for various reasons when commercial traffic fly’s over a war zone or military deployment with a weapons hot situation.
I think the real issue, or the pig in the poke, so to speak is that we are many days into this and still no admission from the Russian government who provided the weapons system and has been aware of this since day one.
I am expecting one, but it’s way too slow and may never come.
I still haven’t heard if it was stupidity, error or Ukraine air traffic controllers that routed the plane over an active war zone.
