Per wiki, that system has altitude capability of 25km, so over 80k feet.

According to FlightAware it was level at 33,000 feet.   Other than a jet, what ground-based asset could shoot it down that would be in that area?


"analyst" on CNN saying at that altitude it would most likely have been air to air.

I think he was relating it more to the area where it happened since it is a highly contested area and nothing with that reach would be / or is suspected to be in that area. My bad for not including all the details he mentioned.

If Russia fucked up and shot it down there may end up being a lot of pissed off Chinese.  They may not care what the west has to say but I'm sure they were planning on the Chinese looking the other  way so this could have consequences for Russia in its little affair with Ukraine.

Must have been shot down by the Russian door gunner on the Space Station.
