Russia has a long history of taking down civilian planes with air defense systems. Just ask people about MH17. The laughable "Ukraine was attacking us with drones" nonsense does not excuse Russia from their failed command & control of air-defenses which took down a commercial airliner. The worst part is that the Kremlin is trying to cover it up rather than admitting to it (once again).
Korean Airlines in 1983 but hey, let's not be too tough, they actually managed to hit something, didn't cause a lot of damage as clearly the pilots retained some control or there would be no survivors, but not to quibble about firing blind at something.. That had to be at an altitude uncommon for drones, and the transponder of course... I guess Azerbaijan is overrun with them Nazis too eh @kashirin?
Hey Russia... putting out a video of you shooting down Santa a couple days after you shot down a commercial airliner is not a good look.

Putin on his knees apologizing to Azerbaijan officials as per their demands. He still can't bring himself to admit Russia air defenses shot down the plane -- which is obvious to everyone at this point. The plane was downed by a Pantsir-S air defense system from the Naursky district of Chechnya. Putin apologizes for ‘tragic’ Azerbaijan Airlines crash, without admitting responsibility https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/28/asia/russia-air-defenses-azerbaijan-airlines-crash-intl?cid=ios_app Here is the harsh reality... 'the plane's radars were jammed with the 'goal' of having the aircraft crash into the water 'where all witnesses would perish and the aircraft would sink'.'

Pretty good video explaining how Russian tank counts may be derived from satellite imagery. It also mentions there will likely be no binary cutoff at which Russia is completely out of tanks, but rather, the restoration rate gradually drops to ever smaller numbers: (start time skips the promotion at start)
