He is desperate to keep the facade that "everything is alright, this is all according to plan, just how we expected, exactly how we drew it up."

Almost everyone of the masses think airport/flight radar 'radar' is actually radar. Like actual radar  bouncing RF of of stuff. Rather than a little radio that has an off/on switch constantly telling all and sundry where it is, and how high, moving in whatever direction at such and such a a speed, until when someone turns it off. Then suddenly it disappears.

From what I've seen, the Russians are being lured into SAM traps.  All Ukrainian radars are off until other forms of inteligence tells them a plane is in the area and well within the kill envelope of the system.  I saw what looked like an Su-27 get hit by a big sam almost directly underneath the plane as it passed over.  No chaff, no flares, no time to maneuver.


They are getting baited by Stingers as well.  You just don't fire at them while they are shooting flares, once they run out, or aren't aware of a threat is when you fire them.

They do in the initial boost phase, at close range unfortunately they draw a line to the firing person.

Doesn't take much to knock a plane down if it's hit in the correct spot.  Could have cut a control line, incapacitated the pilot.  Looks like flares were deployed but it might have been too late.  But it could have been a MX issue at an inopportune time, you never know.

Of course, a Russian Col could have given the Maj a choice, Ukrainian SAMs or a Russian pistol. In that scenario, yeah he might have jumped in the cockpit in jeans and a Ramones T-shirt.

Seems to be a major uptick in Russian air assets flying and getting shot down. We went a few days with only a handful of videos of anything Russian in the air.  I think they are getting more desperate flying in contested airspace. Ukraine doesn't seem to have anything flying themselves, but plenty of assets all over the ground.

Exactly, that too.  The most ideal situation is to have an AWACS providing data on air contacts and getting that info the big S-300 systems so they don't have to emit.  They certainly seem to be busy today.   Russia can't sustain air losses like this for another week, despite the number of planes near the border.
