you don't end up with these weapons capable of that by mistake. It's a joke, but this is exactly like giving a loaded gun to a toddler.
If you haven't identified the target, you don't fire the munition. This is not challenging military strategy.
So either someone maliciously gave this loaded gun to a toddler who had to KNOW a situation like this would happen because the people holding the weapon were not prepared to use it
or the person holding the weapon did identify the target, knew exactly how to use this weapon, and fired anyway, maliciously
However, there's a lot of chatter now on Telegram that this may be about the current power struggle between Zel and Zaluzhny.
POSTSCRIPT
Medvedev:
"The story of the destruction of the IL-76 plane is the result of the internal political struggle of neo-Nazi elites in Kiev. A war of pigs at the trough. Many have already written about this.
Bright memory to our pilots. They are heroes. Ukrainian families did not receive their captives from Russia.
It will only get worse from here: these trident-bearing monsters, to maintain their power, will easily kill their own servicemen and prisoners of war, as they learned in 700 days of their own war. They will ruthlessly bomb their cities and villages, reducing their homes to dust and turning their elderly and children into ashes. There are no limits for these yellow-blue creatures. After all, the main stakes are power and money.”
What's known at this moment:
⚡ An Il-76 crashed at around 11:00 Moscow time in the Belgorod region, the Defense Ministry said.
1⃣ On board were 65 captured AFU servicemen being transported to the Belgorod region for exchange, six crew members and three escorts.
2⃣ A commission of the Russian Air Force flew to the place of the plane crash to establish the causes of the accident".
3⃣ Ukrainian prisoners being brought in for exchange have become a bargaining chip for Kiev regime seeking to damage Russia at any cost.
4⃣ The pilot managed to steer the burning Il-76 away from the houses of the village of Yablonovo in Belgorod region, the plane fell into a field
5⃣ The same plane was used to take Ukrainian prisoners for exchange three weeks ago
6⃣ Then Russia gave 173 people, and in return received 248 of Russian soldiers.
7⃣ Another IL-76 with 80 Ukrainian prisoners of war turned around after the downing of a military plane in the Belgorod region.
8⃣ This was necessary to save human lives. This was reported by MP Kartapolov.
⚡ The State Duma will prepare an appeal to the US and Germany in connection with the IL-76 disaster - Volodin
⚡ The launch of an anti-aircraft guided missile at the Russian Il-76 was from the direction of Kharkov from a distance of 130 km, Rybar writes.
aint that some shit. Nah that's not incompetence, that's malice
By incompetence I meant that whoever initiated the firing of the missiles didn't have a clue who was on board.
btw, the Russians have just published the manifest - confirmed x65 Nazi PoW. The eldest was born in 1965.
maybe
This is one of those wildly out of place facts
you don't end up with these weapons capable of that by mistake. It's a joke, but this is exactly like giving a loaded gun to a toddler.
If you haven't identified the target, you don't fire the munition. This is not challenging military strategy.
So either someone maliciously gave this loaded gun to a toddler who had to KNOW a situation like this would happen because the people holding the weapon were not prepared to use it
or the person holding the weapon did identify the target, knew exactly how to use this weapon, and fired anyway, maliciously
the only question is who did the malicious act
That's a good analysis fren.
However, there's a lot of chatter now on Telegram that this may be about the current power struggle between Zel and Zaluzhny.
