Russia warns against 'hypotheses' in Azerbaijan Airlines crash
Summary
An Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, killing 38 of 67 onboard, with 29 survivors.
The plane was diverted due to fog en route to Grozny, Chechnya, before crashing 1.9 miles from the runway.
Speculation suggests a Russian air defense missile may have caused the crash amid heightened regional tensions.
Aviation analysts cite shrapnel patterns as evidence of a missile strike.

Russia shoots down a civilian airliner, killing many civilians, and they have the gall to say shit like this? Have y'all considered shit like this is why people don't like Russia?
They are just rinsing and repeating the lies they told over MH17.. Putin and his regime are monsters. I hope I live long enough to hear news of Putin's violent death. I hope he suffers.
The difference is that that one was on porpoise
MH17 was also on purpose to some extent. It was a civilian airliner with its transponder turned on, you can't really mistake it for something else
That poor aquatic animal!
Sorry, this is one of the latinisms my romance head can't code in english. I will leave it like that because it is probably funny for native speakers.
It's funny, but not uncommon for native English speakers too, don't be hard on yourself! Honestly I just thought your phone had autocorrected since they're so close to each other.
They don't give a shit if you like them lol they don't give a shit if they kill a billion civilians on a billion planes. In the end, if the greedy power-hungry fucks around the world end up being in charge of a radioactive rock littered with dead they will still be happy with the result.
Sounds like Russia just admitted they did it then. There’s no reason for them to say it this way otherwise.
They could have said “we’ll work with you” or provided proof they didn’t do it, or other constructive things, but instead they say this.
Eh, providing proof of not having done something is very hard without having proof of how it was done. But otherwise I agree.
Isn’t that the point though?
No they can’t. With the sanctions imposed there’s been a shortage.
All they got to smoke are tiny dicks.
And even then, it’s illegal. Straight to jail. >:(
Same for Azerbaijan. Warmongers both of them
Who in their right fucking mind prints "Russia says" in the headlines like it's ever going to be a thing anyone should ever believe?
Fucking hell.
Russia says, "Bop shewop shewop, lama lama ding dong," or words to that effect.
That is one colossal fuckup. I'm wondering how that even happened. I can understand how a bunch of bozos blew up MH17 after being given AA weapons. I can even understand Prigozhin "blowing up his own grenade on his private jet". But this? Had to be actually competent military crew firing at a civilian aircraft, coming from a friendly country, that was scheduled to arrive at local airport, with transponder and all... like, wtf?
I know this isn't much, but, on behalf of Russians, my apologies and condolences for those who perished on this flight.
Jesus Christ. Look at the damned picture. The ass end if peppered with tiny holes. Anyone think birds did that?!
Have a look at how missiles work:

And if you call Hollywood bullshit, have a look at any number of Ukrainian war videos. Don't have one in mind ATM.
