It’s time to take out these motherfuckers, EU what the hell are you all waiting for!
The US to step in and do it for them, as per usual.
I never thought I’d say this but maybe, just maybe the crazy trump rhetoric might have a positive influence on this.
Did they shoot down another civilian airliner recently?

Russian air defence missile incident emerges as likely cause of Azerbaijan Airlines crash
Right. Not the result of a SAM… this time.
Edit: Good meme though.
wdym not result of SAM
It clearly fell from a window
Those are definitely caused by birds /s.
mutant chickens from girkin’s biolab
clearly suicide
Tbf it looks like FLAK more than anything else.
What’s the Russian equivalent of the Gepard?
FlAK stands for FlugAbwehrKanone, meaning air defence cannon. What you mean is shrapnel, which air defence missiles use to shoot down planes.
The Gepard is a SHORAD system using airburst autocannons to hit stuff, but airliners usually fly too high for that. The Russian equivalents from newest to older systems are the Pantsir, the Tunguska and the Shilka, IDK if they still use Shilkas though.
Schrapnell like the ones of FlaK-Explosivgeschosse you say?
Gerpard does not use airburst, it needs to directly hit. The rounds have a timed fuse to avoid hitting the ground, so they explose after some seconds.
they don’t have anything like that, if you mean programmable airburst ammunition
Hm, yeah, that’s ehat I meant.
But surely a SAM wouldn’t have gone unnoticed?
i think that crash gave plenty of notice
Looks more like guns than a missile, but what do I know.
irregular, non-circular holes make me think fragments more than anything else
What sort of gun produces so many holes of so varying sizes, let alone that accurately? Or do you mean they randomly unloaded once or was on the ground?
Same kind of damage as on MH17 which was a BUK missile if I remember correctly. It basically explodes near the target like a big handgrenade causing scattered damage like this.
Could be flak explosion.
It was though? Unless the Russian missile that struck the plane was air launched or something.
birdstrike by Su-34 or Mig-29
