Watching Alexander Mercouris is eye opening today. 5 helicopters have been shot down as they have tried to evacuate someone or many very important people from the AZOV controlled steelworks. Now, a Maltese flagged ship has tried to dock at Mariupol and Russia warned it to stop, but it refused so Russia sent a volley of shots across its bow. It has now been boarded and taken to a Russian port where those onboard (Alex believes very highly trained to make this attempt) will be interrogated. 😳 Another bizarre thing is that the ships call sign was. IAMAMANIAC ! Whatever or whoever is in these steelworks is a top priority to get them out or they are hiding something they don’t want the rest world to see.

This is what Alex Mercouris has said. These helicopter pilots knew they probably would not survive. Really sad. As you said, no regard for human life.
It would be pretty difficult to trick people into doing something like that. If they found out it wasn’t an exercise they could easily just bail. Hard to risk an extremely important extraction with something like that.
In my opinion they probably did what the DS does best - blackmail and bribery. They’ll kill their family if they don’t do it. And if they are successful they’ll be richer than their wildest dreams.
Depends if they have a gun to their families heads. You could get men to fly under duress for their loved ones
